Anybody know of a good website to find afforable airline tickets???

I've tried all the typical sites like Orbitz, expedia, Travelocity and Sidestep....anybody have any other ideas? I'm on a TIGHT budget and need to see my family! We are flying Denver to Portland, OR August 2-August 9. I can't spend over 220 per person (there are two of us)...we are also traveling with an infant, so unfortunately priceline.com is out too because we need a direct flight...

Thanks everyone!

Be carful if you are not using one of the major sites.....if the price is too cheap to be true it just might be. I would advise against buying tickets from a website that you do not fully trust.

Southwest Airlines is The Cheapest and Best Airline!

NOTE:They don't have Meals,Just crakers,Soda and Nuts

expedia.com

expedia.com

Just got hubby round trip from LAX to MSP non stops for 271. Best prices by far and I checked everywhere. By the way, the best prices come on there little download fare alert. Not the site.

Cheaptickets.com is the best !

Sometimes the best way to find the best air these days is within 2 weeks of your travel date. This is when the airlines are trying to get rid of any excess inventory and when consolidators have the best negotiating room because once a flight takes off the airline loses money on any unsold seats.

If it is possible, try not to be in a panick and really try to wait until you are within 2 weeks as most of the fares will stay the same until then and then gradually come down. If you absolutely must book before you are within 2 weeks of your travel, then try http://www.discounttravelaccess.com . I've found that rates on this site stay pretty consistantly low even up to the day of travel. Good Luck to you

There are many good websites where you can find exciting offers running on airfares. As far as my personal experience is concerned, I would suggest Cheapoair.com

Pal

spiritair.com they don't go everywhere in the world but try it.

You can try www.cheapoair.com . I know they have pretty good rates. Also try www.cfares.com.

I'm not sure that you'll find any cheaper flights, but as a search engine, Kayak.com is pretty cool. It lists all the airlines (unlike some sights which leave out some, like Jet Blue) and you can narrow down your search easily. The coolest part, I think, is that they have a line graph of how the prices of that itinerary have changed over the past 90 days. It's very user-friendly. And then, of course, if you find a set of flights you want, if they're on the same carrier, you generally save $5 by buying the ticket on the airline's website directly. Any of the search engines jack up the price for convenience. Good luck!

There is a list of great cheap travel sites at http://www.travelbargainsites.com One site lets you compare the prices of all the airlines.

I usually use the sites you have mentioned but will give you a few tips. Most airline tickets get more expensive the closer to the departure date you get. You should try to purchase your tickets at least 3 weeks in advance to get the best fare. Southwest Airlines is a shorter timeframe which, I believe is 2 weeks from date of departure. Also, to get Southwest prices you need to go to their site directly. I don't believe they use those other sites. Sometimes when you call the airline directly....usually around midnight...you might be able to find a cheap rate because they will get cancellations. Good luck!
