Matta Fair: Looking for Flights

I went to the Matta Fair yesterday to look for flights to Europe for the end of the year vacation. I went there on the off chance that the prices might be cheaper than what was being offered online. 

This is what I discovered: the Matta Fair is probably a better deal if you're looking for travel packages (i.e. hotel + flights). If you're like me and on the hunt for only flights, my advice is it is better for you to advoid the crowd at the Matta fair and instead stay home and chill out in front of your computer and just book your flights online as flights are NOT cheaper at the fair. In fact, if anything at all, they can turn out to be more expensive (go figure!).
