What are the best airfare websites?

[sunshine0503]

We need to book our flights from Detroit to San Juan for Feb 1, 2009.

 

I'm sure as the time comes, Spirit may offer a dirt cheap deal, as they usually do... but I don't want to wait it out with all of these airlines jacking up prices for fuel and extra bags...

 

So what is the cheapest website you've found for airfare?

 

Thanks!

http://www.kayak.com is a good website to check.

BUT buy at the airline websites. Always check one-way fares for the outbound and return too. Really, I've saved a bunch that way. Just got my one-way outbound to Seattle-San Juan on US Air and one-way return on Airtran and saved $100.

Check out Yapta dot com. Not only will it track any one-way and/or roundtrip fares that you choose to watch but they will email you with any price reductions once you have purchased the tickets. It's just like getting a price drop on your cruisefare and getting OBC.

 

Just be sure to purchase your airline tickets direct from the airline in the event the price drops. I just received a $30 travel voucher from United when my ticket price dropped.

Okay...this sounds great. We booked a flight, and the price has dropped. How do we get the airline to give us the flight at the new lower price??? Sounds too good to be true!;)
