=======================TRAVEL.INFO1 == 3-JUNE-91 ==========================

================== TRAVEL.INFO2 == 4-JUNE-91 ==============================

Assalam-u-aliekum. I travelled to Pakistan last December (12/90) and before
that in July 1990. Both times I got tickets from Trade Wings of Chicago.
The july trip was on KLM (Chicago-Amsterdam-Karachi) and it cost me $1200.
The December trip was on PANAM (Chicago-N.Y-London-Frankfurt-Karachi) and cost
me nearly $1400. This included an extra $100 for stop over in London. I
would recommend flying KLM. The travel agency gave me good service; it is run
by a couple of Indian muslims. I do advise that one confirm with the airline
the entire flight schedule even though the agency is going to issue the ticket.
The travel agents have  a habit of saying that the seat is confirmed even though
one might only be wait-listed.

The address  of Trade Wings in Chicago is:
Trade Wings 312-764-2300 (Ali or Naveed). 6353 N. Farifield Ave., Chicago 60659

===================TRAVEL.INFO3 == 4-JUNE-91 ================================

Asim,

I think it is an excellent idea to maintain a database. Although I haven't
travelled recently, I have always used Paragon Travels in Houston, who I
have found to be more reliable than most. Here is the info:

Name:     Paragon Travels
Phone:    713 779-1111
Location: Houston, Tx

Also, as far as I know all employees are Pakistanis.
Unfortunately, I dont have the address with me.
Good Luck.

==================== TRAVEL.INFO4 == 10-JUNE-91 ===========================

Assalam-u-alikum; I am also travelling by KLM on 27 June and it only cost me
$1125. I got my ticket from

TRAVEL KING in Chicago. Their phone # is 312-769-0090.

==================== TRAVEL.INFO5 == 13-JUNE-91 ==========================

Far Corner Travels
City of Industry, CA

Airline: Lufthansa
Cost: $ 1260 , departure: 15 June, Arrival: 9 July 1991

==================== TRAVEL.INFO6 == 24-JULY-91 ==========================

I don't know any travel agents in Ohio, but I know some in Chicago and
New York.  They are reliable as far as I know.  I will list them in order
of reliability, just for your record.  I haven't had trouble with any of these
but that does not mean they are 100% safe.

Alpha Travel
Owner: Altaf Ahmad
(212) 686-9530
New York

Alien Travel
(312) 263-1972
Chicago

Pak-American Travel
Chicago
(Don't have the number off hand, but if you call 312-555-1212 you should be
able to get it)

To find out cheap travel agents in your area, call PIA or which ever airline
you want to travel on.  They will give you a list of their agency dealers who
can purchase tickets at substantial discounts.

I am travelling with Alien Travel to Karachi on Aug. 3.  I am paying $1350 on
PIA.  This includes a week long stop over in Holland and a free round trip
ticket anywhere inside Pakistan.  This is some special PIA deal going on
these days, I think.

Hope the above has been useful,


==================== TRAVEL.INFO7 == 27-JULY-1991 =========================

Alien travel also has a toll free number. It's 1-800-262-1972.

==================== TRAVEL.INFO8 == 6-AUGUST-91 ==========================

Continental Travels,
1420-22 Checstnut St.,
Philadelphia, Pa 19102.
(215)-751-2740

Prop: Kadir Shilad.


=========================== TRAVEL.INFO9 22-OCT-1991 ===================


Here is my penny's worth of contribution to the 'list'.  I usually use
Alien Travel in Chicago, even though I am in Oregon.  Their phone number is
312-263-1972 and they seem to give quite reasonable prices for air travel.
They will mail you the ticket if you send them a check, or if you do not
mind paying 3% extra you can charge the ticket to any major credit card.
