Can you recommend a good website for airfare?

[ck93]

Looking for a website with great airfare, any recommendations?

 

TIA!

[Sue L]

sidestep.com and kayak.com

[cruislovin]

qixo.com is another good one.

 

Just realize that most of the search engine websites do not include airlines like Southwest and some other discount airlines. I always search those websites independently.

[ck93]

Thank again, Sue L. You have answered alot of other questions I've had! :D Kayak.com is a great site!! I'll have to check the other one now!

Try farecompare.com.

[amybear912]

also try farecast.com

 

they monitor airfare trends and "predict" the best time to purchase. I take a look at this and then purchase directly through the airline. I usually get the best deal when I cut out the middleman.

[johnlcruise]

To me this is the best site. They compare ALL airlines.

 

http://www.kayak.com/

Kayak is great but be aware it doesn't show you all of your options.

I agree; or it shows you things that aren't really available. It's still a great site, but you just have to be thorough.

[WeWant2BCruzin]

Also try bookingbuddy.com

[tracey980]

i like farecompare.com

[corkpopr]

I like kayak but usually check 1800flyeurope first.

[fpcruiser]

Itasoftware.com also compares airlines and tells you if it is a tight connection, long layover etc.

[Host Kewlguy]

We use mobissimo.com

[dirtgirl]

I had no idea that there were so many sites to choose from! Thanks for all the sites, guys!:)

[Host Kewlguy]

Another good one is Best Travel Store.

 

http://www.bt-store.com/

[emdia43]

The BEST is http://www.cheaptickets.com

Also at times I like airgorilla.com

For International flights there is a new one called Vayama.com that looks promising.

[Cruise Gopher]

http://www.cheaptickets.com charges you a booking fee. Not worth it IMO.

 

http://www.kayak.com is the best because it finds the cheapest prices and then you book directly on the airline's website and avoid the booking fees.

This info has helped me as well! I have never booked a flight! We are flying to San juan in Dec 08. There is a non stop from houston. Any tips about booking or airport do's and don'ts would be appreciated! Upon arriving in SJU, so we have to go through any screening process?

Definitely try to get a non-stop flight as there is less likelihood that your luggage won't make it. SJU is part of the US so you don't have to go through customs or anything. Definitely go in at least the day before, not only will you be safe for any delays but you get to see a beautiful island.

thanks sue!

I can't find any flights with Southwest out of the US. Do they not go outside of the states?

[MattInFLL]

Southwest does not fly internationally.

 

No matter which web site you use, there are two things to remember: 1 - Southwest, Jet Blue and other discounters do not generally show up at the comparison sites and never at the big travel web sites. You have to check these on your own. 2 - after you have found the lowest price at one of the comparison web sites, go directly to the airline's own site and see if you can find it there. It is always best to book direct with the airline. There are no additional booking fees, and if you have changes or problems, you can deal directly with the airline. More than once I booked through Orbitz and went through h*ll trying to fix something because I could not deal directly with the airline.

I like www.flightnetwork.com
