I am in Yichang, and I will go to the United States as an exchange student next semester. How can I save the most money in Houston, USA?

1) It will be very cheap to buy one or two months in advance.

2) It is better to start from Beijing, and the flight time is shorter.

3) Generally speaking, travel agencies integrate several airlines, choose the best route and time, and arrange cheap fares for you. So there is no fixed family.

4) Houston is on the other side of the world, and there are no direct flights. Generally speaking, your itinerary is: Yichang-Beijing-San Francisco (or Los Angeles or Chicago)-Houston. You left in February. It's best to avoid passing through Chicago, because it often snows there and the plane is easily delayed.

5) It usually takes one semester (five months) to exchange students, and it will take six or seven months to travel back. So it's more expensive to buy a round-trip ticket. But the time is not very flexible. You are allowed to change the return time unless you buy a more expensive ticket. You'd better discuss this matter with the travel agency. From Beijing to Houston, the economy class round-trip ticket is 900~ 1200 USD. It's too modest of you to say repeatedly that you are in a daze. Being selected as an exchange student by the school should not be a fuel-efficient lamp. Have confidence. However, to be on the safe side, it is best to buy air tickets through a more reputable travel agency.

Good luck with everything.
