Travelation.com or Smartfares.com

Has anyone ever heard of or used Travelation.com or Smartfares.com. Both sites offer fares far below what I have been quoted on airline website or Orbitz or Expedia. Sounds too inexpensive to be legitimate. Mary Ann

I've not used them but regularly use Kayak.com and like them alot! I will check their prices, then the individual airlines that has been listed with the best price - just to make sure and have regularly purchased with Kayak.
Good Luck!

Neither of the sights you mention include fees and taxes in their quotes until you click through to the details page. Kayak, Expedia, Orbit and Travelocity, among others quote all-in fares (that is, the total amount you will be paying). Hope this helps.

Whoops! A couple of typos there. I meant sites, as in websites, and Orbitz (my "z" sticks).

As mentioned, Smartfares does not include taxes and fees when listing the results. You also cannot specify non-stop flights. I just tried our September dates Boston to Paris, and the Smartfares fare including taxes and fees came to $975.74. Same AA flights on their website $947.10.
