To begin with, jump onto the Internet superhighway and see what the discount airfare travel places have to say about the latest air travel routes to Sweden. After some searching around, you'll be able to see just how much you can save by switching around your departure and arrival dates or changing airports. You may even discover that you can take advantage of savings by agreeing to include another leg onto your flight instead of traveling a direct route.

Next, there's nothing wrong with talking with your local travel agent or the AAA (especially if you're a member) about air travel routes to Sweden. Remember – you'll be under no obligation to use their services, but armed with the information you gleaned from your Internet sleuthing, you'll be able to figure out if you might be able to get a better deal through an agency. (Don't laugh – sometimes, they can get amazing bargains.)

Finally, if you know where you want to go (and from where you're willing to leave), it never hurts to call up the airlines themselves. By dealing directly with the carrier, you may be able to snag a better rate or even more airline miles if you have a frequent flyer card.
