Hey folks,
I do a lot of travelling myself (not trying to brag
) and learned over the years that searching on Expedia or Travelocity isn't always the best choice in finding fares and being able to compare them. Their prices aren't always the greatest so I've found some sites that will definately help you find the cheapest flight available for the time you want to travel.
First and foremost, your best bet is your preferred airline carrier's website. Whether it's Alaska Airlines, Cathay Pacific, British Airways, or Air Canada, always check with the carrier's website first.
My second weapon of choice when it comes to cheap flights is
Orbitz.com. Orbitz is an American-based website that scrounges through various airline carriers and hunts for deals seperately in order to find you the cheapest fare possible. Sometimes, their fares actually beat the carrier's prices because they may mix and match different airline carriers to get you to where you want to go for the lowest price. I booked a flight from SFO to FRA for only $400! Take that, Lufthansa!
My most favourite website is
ITA. Similar to Orbitz, but their fares are sometimes better however, they provide way more flexibile search functions. This, by far, has saved me a tonne of money compared to say, Expedia or Travelocity.
I am, by no means, an expert nor professional traveller. I simply like to travel and like to share my personal best-bang-for-the-buck findings. Happy travels!
