Websites for Reservations

Hi every one, I'm looking for alternative websites to book hotels and airline tickets. The Ones that I normally use are these: travelocity.com expedia.com pr iceline.com hotwire.com HRS.com (Hotel Reservation Service) hotel.com frommers.com (I only use this one to read the reviews) cheaptickets.com (This one is relatively good) cheapfares.com bestfares.com (To get the good fares, you need to be a member) So, I was wondering if other people know of better websites. I know there are quite a few good websites for UK. But I live in the US (Boston). I'm currently planning my trip to Europe in January. I'm trying to find a website that has a big listing of hotels in Europe. Oh, I may decide to go to England or Ireland or Italy/Switzerland or Austria. I greatly appreciate any information that you want to share with me. Thank You, Annie

hoteldiscount.com easyjet.com (airline site, but apparenty GOOD for hotels. just read someone's report about finding a room in Amsterdam in booked-up period, tested it myself, looks good.) I've been pleased with hoteldiscount.com I'd warn you about 11th hour travel, which isn't on your list. They might be okay if they have what they offer, but I had trouble with them when I tried to book a particular package: they asked for my credit card number telling me nothing would be charged without my approval; there wasn't room in the place I wanted to go to, they offered me something I didn't want, I said no, they charged me anyhow and didn't remove the charge until I got American Express on it. Sorry to ramble off topic a bit. I'll post this story on its own sometime soon.
