you will get all the answers you need.

I love site59
It is owned by the same company as Travelocity but is a different business model.
It specializes in last minute travel...

If you go to this page on travelocity.com:

http://travelocity.lmdeals.com/?Service=TRAVELOCITY

you can search exactly the same thing you can on site59.com and get the EXACT same results.

AAfrequent flyer- are there other last minutes sites you have used - or should I just stick with this one?

As you probably can guess I fly AA/OneWorld exclusively so I do check AA weekend deals. I believe the "special" fares come out on Tuesday mornings for the upcoming and following weekends. AA's last minute deals are for long weekends only, Thur/Fri-Mon/Tue or something similar. Sometimes (rarely) I will find a destination that may be of interest to me that also has a decent fare.

I'm sure all the other domestic airlines have the same set-up.

Other than that, I've used Site59 last year and got an unbelievable deal to London in late August. To this day I believe it was some kind of a mistake. The flight and 2 nights at a Holiday Inn total? = ~$425 for a single traveler. I bought it on Thursday and Friday I was flying on AA(full mileage, upgraded to business with my certs) to London. Never found anything even close to the above deal.

The site is very reputable and you will get what you pay for.

We used site 59 for a visit to SF. We stayed at the Mark Hopkins and then had lunch at Kuleto's. It was all included in the deal. We got a great room and service and kuleto's was great. I really liked the experience I had with site 59.
