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.

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.
