It’s holiday time and most of us are on some trip enjoying our time off. We might be home with our families in our home countries, or\u00a0we also might be on some tropical island (if we are so lucky!).<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

But where you go often depends on how much the flight costs to the place you want to go. If your school is paying via your flight allowance benefit, then perfect! But if you are paying, then you for sure are looking out for the best deal (sometimes for hours on flight search websites!)<\/p>\n

It is hard to know what it is like flying out of a city you haven’t lived in yet. How much are the flights to within the host country itself, to nearby countries and to your home country like England or the United States for example?<\/p>\n

If the flights are too expensive in relation to your salary, then it might be very likely you won’t be going home a lot for the holidays. If going home every holiday season is important for you, then it is good to know this information up front before you make a decision to move and live somewhere.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

An average international school teacher probably goes on at least one flight every one to two months while living abroad. That means many cities in a number of different countries. These costs can add up and take away from your savings, but it is just what international school teachers like to do!<\/p>\n

When job searching, make sure to consider the full picture of the host country airport that you might just be using if you sign a contract with a school there.<\/p>\n

Luckily, International School Community has a comment topic on our school profile pages related to getting the inside scoop on\u00a0how much flights actually cost from various host cities across the world, so you can stay the most informed as possible. It is called: “Sample travel airfares from host city airport to destinations nearby.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Our veteran international school teachers have submitted a total of\u00a0141 comments<\/strong> in this comment topic (Dec.\u00a02016). \u00a0Here are a few that have been submitted:<\/p>\n

“Direct flights to the US can be up to 2000USD (JFK), Europe around 1500USD and Australia similar. Prices shoot up around major holidays. There are a number of low-cost airlines operating, which means you can fly more or less anywhere in East\/South East Asia for less that 200USD.” –\u00a0Hong Kong Academy <\/a>(Hong Kong, China)<\/span> – 54 Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Flights purchased 21 days in advance on discount airlines within Europe can be as little as 20$. But beware, sometimes these flights are cancelled with little or now warning, and you’re left having to purchase a much more expensive one with a different airline at the last-minute. Flights to Asia or the USA will run between 500-1000$, depending on when you travel. Everything is more expensive in July and August, so try to plan travel in off-peak times for the best deals.” –\u00a0Oeiras International School <\/a>(Lisbon, Portugal)<\/span> – 111 Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Check KLM’s website every now and again. They sometimes give great deals on empty seats from Denpasar to Singapore. I’ve flown it for $59 on occasion. Also- pro tip- If you have money to spare and want a few hours of luxury. When checking in, go to the Business Class counter and ask if there are any empty seats. They used to sell them for $50 extra. Now they’ve fixed the price at about $110.” –\u00a0<\/span>Green School Bali <\/a>(Denpasar, Indonesia)<\/span> – 54 Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Doha is a central airport in the world – usually the stopover for flights from Europe to Asia, so there are amazing flight options from here. Cheapest weekend flights are to other middle eastern countries\/cities – Dubai\/Abu Dhabi\/Bahrain\/ Oman. You can get good deals on Qatar Airways too. Popular destinations from here (but not in a weekend): Maldives, Sri Lanka, India, Turkey. I think the flight prices aren’t too bad (in relation to salaries here) they might seem expensive when you exchange to another currency.” –\u00a0Qatar Academy (Sidra) <\/a>(Doha, Qatar)<\/span> – 59 Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
