I've been doing a bit of research on this and so far it seems like it is not as easy as it used to be. A combination of 9/11, information technology, and faster more reliable service from companies like FedEx has decreased the demand for air couriers. Also, I'm not so sure that those sites really are scams. A couple of articles name one that costs $39 and seems to make it sound credible. The only problem is the deals aren't very good even if you sign up.

This really sucks cause me and a buddy really want to go to Southeast Asia over winter break but the flight prices might be too much. So far the cheapest fares I've found are $1500. WTF? Am I not searching the right sites? I know there's a lot of 2p2'ers that live in/have gone to Thailand, how much did you guys pay?
