Low Price Air Fare Sites

We are a family of 6 traveling to London in early June. Which internet air fare sites are the best to search?

Depends a great deal from where you plan to travel. Assuming from the States, have a try with Orbitz, Sidestep, Farechase, and Qixo. However, if you plan to stay &gt;30 days then try an airfare consolidator such as Travelteam.com or Flights.com.<BR><BR>Childrens fares are usually 25% reduction.

try cheaptickets.com, travelocity, and the airline sites. They sometimes have just as good deals. Have a great trip.

I recently booked an open jaw ticket from Houston to Frankfurt and back to Houston from London through www.aa.com (American Airlines website). They had prices that were lower or equal to those of Travelocity, Expedia, Qixo, etc. You need to check as many websites as possible so you'll know a good deal when you see it.

We found the cheapest fare to Paris on the Air France website. It was cheaper than any of the many other sites I checked.

I had good luck with www.onetravel.com last year.

I'm wondering about some of these sites? For example - onetravel.com. Where do they get their tickets, do they honor refunds, etc.? And on a broader level, does anyone know of a website that explains all of the travel sites - what kind of tickets, pricing, airlines, etc you can get from Obitz, vs Expedia, vs Travelocity.. I think understanding the logic will make us better shoppers!

You cannot beat the small ads in the Sunday paper for prices. Call them and see. These are normally leftover seats given only to agents. You will not find them on the net.

Almost puzzling. Don - - who is the guru of the universe, in residence at www.eurotrip.com - - on all matters of cheap flights, seems to never cite the website where you may want to ask this question first and foremost.<BR><BR>How come, Don? Just that reserved? Or do you have a financial interest in www.eurotrip.com ?? <BR><BR>Whatever the case, I remain very, VERY grateful to the Eurotrip site (specifically the cheap flights forum) - - and will mention it anytime.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>
