Are there other sites like Travelzoo?
 
I get the Travelzoo top 20 deals every week and I get an email of the best airfares from my city from another site. I am just wondering what other people are out there looking for good travel deals for us.

Thanks Wil. I just ch3ecked out fare compare and they have some really good info. Airfare watchdog is the one that sends me fares each week but they aren't as low as the ones I saw on farecompare.

well, good luck following the trail because, typically in my explorations, those fares don't exist.

I just opened Travelzoo and see "to/from city" and I entered my city, and see the United deal. OK, doubtful my town is going to be one of the 20 US departure points, so I just use one of the city-pairs listed, ex. Orlando-Shannon. I chose dates two different times and got "no flights offered on those dates". Fine, I changed to Atlanta-Budapest with teaser rate of $240 one way. My results come up with lowest r/t of $620.
Who's got time for this bait-n-switch cr*p?

For any of these sites, I find the fares exist some of the time, although definitely not all the time and not for all the advertised dates.

I haven't looked in depth at ATL-BUD, but I did find United/Lufthansa fares that definitely exist in the $525 (all-in) range for ATL-BUD.
