There are several great travel tips to get you a cheap flight to almost anywhere in the world. One method is to use what is called a bucket shop or a travel consolidator. Bucket shops are travel agencies who made special arrangements with certain airlines to sell international tickets for far less than an airline's published prices. You do need to be wary, however, as all bucket shops are not the same. Make sure the bucket shop is reputable by checking with the better business bureau first.

The occupants of Tel Aviv swarm to the gold sandy beaches and everyone enjoys the bustling entertainment found citywide. You can be a part of all of this for very little cash.
