Politics, open government, and safe streets. And the constant incursion of cycling.

So much for the global Internet

So, I’m trying to put together a trip that involves a Europe to South Asia segment. I don’t give a @#!) about using US carriers – all I want is a search result containing the various flights between, say, Frankfurt, Germany and Karachi, Pakistan. You’d think it would be easy, with the relatively mature technologies of Expedia, Travelocity, or Kayak.

No go. Not at all.

And everything else I’m finding is all single-country-centric (e.g., makemytrip.com, which I would recommend for anything involving India). But what do you do when you’re trying to get to a market that is relatively underserved?

I refuse to call a travel agent.

    Thanks, Mosquito. I’m generally apolitical when it comes to airlines – the one exception being that I’d really like to book an Aeroflot segment one day. But I suppose that is more out of a sense of adventure (I think even they have gotten past the point where it would be a deathwish) than politics . . .

    (I could, in fact, use them for this trip – Dulles to Moscow to Karachi. But even I’m not that masochistic).
