Booking a flight

Finding and booking a flight to Japan is one of the things I had to do at some point during my three month break from school. Luckily, I follow a bunch of great blogs and websites that give me great information about these types of things.

I was reading an update by another blog that I follow (Surviving in Japan), which has a lot of great information, and somehow from there I got on Facebook and saw an update from Clark Howard, which led me to his website. On Clark Howard’s website I started watching videos, which led me to Mobissimo, a website that is good for finding and booking international flights. Long story short, sometimes when you think you are not being productive, you learn important things that can help you out later.

I actually started writing this post about a month ago, but since I recently received my packet of information from the university I will be studying abroad at, I decided to post this. While looking at other blogs and getting advice from many of my other friends who have studied abroad, I wound up using Kayak and Priceline (Negotiator) primarily, to look for and buy a round-trip flight to Japan. It was a little nerve-wracking because buying the ticket makes everything seem so final, but at the same time it was exciting.
