Anyone know of any good sites for airfare? Going on vacation soon and everything seems pricey

 

My wife and I have been on a tear the last two years. We've flown all over the place (Thailand, Peru, Europe, Middle East, Cancun, Hawaii three times, and Vegas three times, LA four times, Phoenix three times). All for fun too. We do all our booking thru Expedia. It may not be the greatest site, but it's treated us right. Just pick a site with points/miles and stick with it. We're Expedia Elite members through 2015 at this point. Free room upgrades at select hotels and 24-7 concierge service.

 

KAYAK - Cheap Flights, Hotels, Airline Tickets, Cheap Tickets, Cheap Travel Deals - Compare Hundreds of Travel Sites At Once has been pretty good for me.

 

cheaptickets.com

 

according to articles that my boss sends me all the time, the best fares can be found on Wednesdays three weeks from the date of departure. Yeah, seriously.

 

date or marry a stew... er flight attendant...

 

any links to back that up?

 

Sure I'll find it tomorrow in my work email inbox and post it up

 

If you go to farecompare.com, they have an article claiming that they analysed a bunch of data and came up with the rule you should by tickets Tuesday afternoon.

I use hipmonk because their user interface makes finding the cheapest fare at the times you want to fly easy.

 

Whoops, its hipmunk.com, not hipmonk.

 

Lowest airfares found six weeks before flight, study says - latimes.com

I was wrong actually, it's cheapest to book six weeks out.

Here's another one with some good advice:
