I’m looking for a plane ticket from Paris to the US, but all the sights I use are American, so their deals are leaving from the US. I’m just curious if there are some good European sights for buying tickets. ---

I wasn’t finished. That’s the second time today that I’ve screwed up a post. All of the sights I know are more or less oriented with offering deals leaving the US. I’m wondering if there are any good sights that offer flight deals leaving from Paris…not leaving for Paris. ---

[http://www.ebookers.fr](http://www.ebookers.fr) ? Other on-line flight booking sites are doubtless available. ---

I’m just curious if there are some good European sights for buying tickets. Well most of the big online places have European site needless to say (in fact irritatingly enough nowadays they will auto redirect you based on your IP, which is irriating when I’m visiting the UK but want to book a flight in the US with my US C.C.) The main European ones I used to use are: [http://www.deckchair.com/home/home.asp](http://www.deckchair.com/home/home.asp) > **[Book Cheap Holidays, Flights, Hotels & City Breaks | lastminute.com](https://www.lastminute.com/)** > > Plan your next trip with the official lastminute.com website.

Expedia is the one I use most often (apart from booking direct with low-cost carriers), so try [www.expedia.fr](http://www.expedia.fr). However, booking from outside the country can be a problem when it comes to payment - you might find it easier to go directly through the airlines.
