I'll be travelling to the middle east (Destination: Iraq) sometime next month. Been checking out some of the online brokers such as expedia.ca and flightcentre.ca, but they all seem to be showing the same price for the same flights.

1) Am I to assume then there are no other flights or are there other brokers out there with hidden flights that are not searchable online?

2) If so, can anyone recommend any?

3) If not, does anyone have any coupons for flightcentre or expedia?

4) One last question.. I noticed some people get very good deals by waiting till the last minute to book their tickets. How does that work?

Merci.

try www.kayak.com if you are near a US airport you may want to put that as your departure point to compare prices.

In all seriousness, let me know how your trip turns out. Iraq has some amazing architecture and museums, pre-invasion. It's a shame most of the items were looted and sold on the black market.

Don't forget to include a writeup of your security detail.
