Every day after you brush your teeth, check:
http://www.air-fare.com/When you pick your destination, always check the price with
http://www.sidestep.comCheaptickets.com in my very humble opinion is a thing of the past as far as having the cheapest price, as is southwest.com or any other proprietary site. Sidestep.com checks ALL the sites, even those who don't want to be trolled for their prices like southwest.
Last year I got about 55,000 miles from flying...hmmm...paid less than $2K total. Visited...er...3 continents. I received a voucher for $300 which I used to pay for a free trip, and I received 2 free air tickets for another trip which I will take in the fall with my very patient partner who has never seen Canada.
So yeah I'd say definitely use sidestep. And if you think you and your new bride/groom will be traveling a lot in future, be sure to sign up to get a frequent flyer number.
If you knew where you wanted to honeymoon I might be able to give you more specific suggestions. I have no money at all and travel tons but I'm signed up with tons of travel deal sites and thanks to my state of idleness generally have lots of time to find travel deals.
The airlines are desperate and deals are there to be had. I'm flying round-trip to Paris for $310 dollars for example. That deal is over but there is always another deal.
Flying for free or cheap can be a surprisingly technical topic but if I knew a little more I might be able to help you.
As (obviously) I'm about to go out of town, PM me in case I lose this thread and when I return from my trip I can try to help you. You have time, May is an eternity away in airline time.
The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
