What's the best site to find the cheapest airfare? |
|
OK, what's the best site to find the cheapest airfares? I know of travelocity and expedia.
What about about comparison shopping on the internet in general...? I've used something caled fetchbookinfo and they give some great deals and list a lot of different prices...there are a few more like mysimon.

4. Sometimes the airlines' own websites give the best deals |
|
because they can sometimes save on fees they pay to the external sites. Check Orbitz and Expedia, etc., then check the airlines' sites -- see if it's the same or better.

or you can go directly to the airline's websites -- sometimes they'll have a better price.
Sometimes only one airline flies to where you want to go --
www.aa.com American Airlines is one example

9. If you are travelling in Southwest's region |
|
they cannot be beat, and I have not seen them on the 'cheap tix' sites (but I haven't been to one for awhile).

12. Orbitz doesn't cover everyone |
|
Find out which carriers go to the airports your flying to/from.

15. I'm pretty much exclusively an Expedia user |
|
I price compare every trip I take, but Expedia unfailingly has the best prices at the times I want. Priceline can usually get me a ticket for less money, but it's invariably the redeye with ten layovers (it once offered me a two layover trip from SMF to PSP...via SFO and LAX...for $79, but with the layovers it would have been a ten hour flight. I can drive it in seven).
You can sometimes also save a little money by locating a flight on Expedia or Travelocity and then purchasing the actual ticket from the airlines website. This doesn't always work (some flights are apparently "agent only", and others list at a different price for the same flight ans seat), but it's usually worth checking if you're tight on cash and need to fly.

18. Another Expedia fan here. |
|
But you really need to check out multiple sites, including the individual airline ones, because there's no absolute one best site.
If you want a last minute package deal, check out www.site59.com
