Discount airfare?

where can I purchase airline tickets for really cheap other than yahoo travel, orbitz, kayak or hotwire.


Since you don't say where you need to fly, I'll answer your question as stated. http://www.ryanair.com fares from 1 penny + taxes; I've flown them, they are legit.

---- updated after you added info

No problem. Since this forum covers many countries, I had no idea where you needed to travel from. It would be nice to have Ryanair in the USA, though! Now that you updated your info, we now know that you need flights between NJ and FL.

Use http://www.farecompare.com to find the cheapest tickets. You don't have to worry about if one day is cheaper than another, of if connecting is cheaper than nonstop, how far advance you purchase, etc. etc. It starts out by showing you the cheapest with all of those conditions, then you track it down on a calendar by clicking on the days you want to travel. Here's Newark to Fort Lauderdale for $138 roundtrip, for example: http://www.farecompare.com/search/year.html?departure=EWR&destination=FLL&p=1 -- you can change the cities easily, so it helps you track down the best for your trip. Here's Newark-Ft. Myers for $118: http://www.farecompare.com/search/month.html?departure=EWR&destination=FMY&currency=USD&tripType=roundtrip&nonstops=false&p=1&cabin=Coach&date=20070701&key=f0aa9dcbf631d827185c98c7642e7590ae8b4d32321712cd Happy travels!

Priceline.com is ok, it works pretty well most of the time as long as you don't screw up typing in your bid or something. I tend to use them for car rentals or hotel rooms more often than for airfare. There are two newer site that doesn't exclude airlines like Expedia and Travelocity do: www.sidestep.com and www.skyauction.com. Side Step is the easy of the two to use, and I've always gotten the lowest non-bidding airline fare of any of the sites I've checked. Sky Auction is useful if you are an E-bay type who's willing to monitor the bids that build up for the tickets there. Regardless, the most important thing to do, I believe, is to search at least three different sites before buying the cheapest one on the first site, you know?

try expedia.com or travelocity.com oh and cheaptickets.com or you could bid on priceline.com

Try http://www.bbcarefreetravel.com and go to book travel. They list all different airlines and prices to choose from. Also you can submit your e-mail address and they will send you information about discounts for flights, cruises and hotel stays.

priceline.com and name you own price.
