Just a little knowledge learned, so I'm passing it on.
I've been looking for a BKK -> NYC -> BKK flight. Kuwait Airways seems
like the best deal-- around 25,000B for a 3 month ticket, 29,000 for a
1 year. All the travel agents in KSR want to sell you a 6 mo. flight on
China Airways, at around 32,000B. Most don't seem to have even heard of
Kuwait.
In the scam dept, the website: http://www.expressinter.com/ looks like
a general travel agent website and search engine, where you can search
for the lowest fares among many airlines. However, the lowest price
always seems to be Air India, around 24,000B for my flight (a good
price). If you try to search by a particular airline on this site (eg
Kuwait, or China Airlines)--surprise: "Error: no airline was found".
So, I went to the business address listed at the top of the webpage,
and another surprise: it's Air India. I went in to confirm the price
I'd seen on the web: surprise: 38,000B for my itinerary. In addition,
they claim to know nothing about the website or its prices.
