| Airline & Travel: The latest way to find the cheapest prices for airline flights is
to go directly to the airline's site. So, 1st go to Expedia.com ,
then Orbitz - The Travel Site with the Most Web-Only Rates on the Internet! ,
then Cheap Tickets
put in the flight you are interested in. Note what airlines
are listed. NOW, go to each airline's site and look for a link
for something like: "On-line specials" or "Internet
specials", something like that. There are some incredible
savings this way. I booked a round trip flight from San
Francisco to Venice Italy on Delta Airlines for $426!!!
|
http://www.sidestep.com You must download a small app. that runs in
your browser. It then searches about 80 travel vendors.
|
http://www.qixo.com - searches 20 sites including
www.Travelocity.com, Cheap Tickets and more.

|
http://www.airawards.com
They specialize in 1st Class and Business Class Travel.
They buy Frequent Flyer Miles and then use them to give you great
prices on flights. |
Priceline -  
The lowest price they will accept on ANY trip is $150. So LA
to San Francisco is out!
You must be very flexible to use this service! But if you can be
a little flexible you can get some great prices on flights!!
But be aware. You must give them a charge card number before you
register. Then when you 'bid' on a seat, it's yours if
the airline agrees.... You can't specify flight times. So the
airline can give you the worst flight. But the savings can be
considerable!! |
