Don't know if this message belongs on this board... but I'm wondering what websites / sources you guys use to get cheap air tickets?
I mean, You'd be OK if your company was footing the bill... but what do you guys use for personal travel. I've tried the usual (expedia, orbirtz, etc).... so looking for someone that has info on WHERE TO GET REALLY GOOD DEALS.
Thanks

This is likely too late for whatever purpose you had, but I would actually recommend straying away from Expedia, etc when booking. I read a research report on the hotel/tourism industry that said that 2 Newer Sites (Meta-Search sites, so they search basically all search engines at once), 1) Kayak.com, and 2) Sidestep.com, are the best. Also, note that when booking hotels - the best practice is to research the hotels (via Expedia, etc), then to officially book them through the hotel's actual website - this ALWAYS provides a cheaper rate, and interesting to note, it is within the hotel's discretion to decide which rooms (no view, etc) to pass on to be offered through the 'travel' websites', and thus they may not always provide their best there, whereas on their website, they will. Hope this helps/that you still care.
