I recently emigrated from England to be with my wife in America, and left a lot of family behind who would all love to visit, or at least have me visit them. The huge problem of course, is that we're faced with ridiculous international flight costs that I can't seem to cut no matter where or when I look.
It's really depressing to imagine I might not have a chance to see my parents or siblings again for years simply because of this fact. I know there's no magic trick to getting cheap(er) flights, but in any case, my wife and I are both students and simply cannot afford to pay $2000+ each to go to London and have a chance to see my family. Any general advice on how to get the best deals?
We live in Charleston, SC too. Doesn't seem to be any direct flights there. Also doesn't seem to get any cheaper if I pick a flight with like 6 stops. I feel like I'm missing something here.
Thanks for the help in advance guys!
