Urgent Advice- Domestic LA to Houston

I have an exam in Houston on 16 July 08. I live in Australia. The tickets from Sydney to Houston are between 3500- 4000 AUD roundtrip. But the fare for Sydney - LA round trip is around 2000AUD.

My question is if I book Sydney - LA round trip from here, can I book domestic connecting flights from LA to Houston online ? )as it looks cheaper)

I am intending to travel around 9th to relax , get over jet lag to handle the exam.

Thanks

Urgent Advice- Domestic LA to Houston

Thx a lot for the reply. Can I book US domestic tickets from Australia?

You should be able to book from Australia. Look at Southwest airlines Southwest.com and also Expedia.com and Kayak.com for most major airlines. Continental is based out of Houston and therefore would likely have the best prices. You also need to decide which airport in Houston you want to fly into--George Bush Intercontinental or Hobby. They are at opposite ends of the city, and it%26#39;s a big city. Southwest flies into both airports, and Continental mainly flies into Bush Intercontinental. Can make a difference if you are taking a taxi or shuttle to the testing area versus renting a car.

If you book this week, you should be able to get the fare for around $400 round trip.

As far as I can tell, Southwest only flies into Hobby in Houston. Be aware that most of Southwest%26#39;s flights from LAX to HOU involve a stop somewhere in between. However, some flights are non-stop and are indicated as such on their website.

Good luck!
