Answer 2

Hi I am a ex-sales rep from Delta Airlines. This is what i can say

First of all here are a few websites
www.travelocity.com
www.hotwire.com
www.expedia.com
www.cheaptickets.com
and of course Priceline

now to warn you if you find and unbelievably cheap fare on Hotwire and Priceline read the terms and condition they don't allow changes under any conditions except flight cancelltations or real emergencies.

now secondly its best to approach the airlines. I will tell you a couple of tricks. First of all many airlines have email programs which show really great fares(delta sure does) enroll for em. Create an id on yahoo or aol just for this sorta spam . Go through them. You get a couple every week

Now most of these fares have terms like. Saturday night stay required. travle permitted on Mondays ,Wednesdays and tuesdays.
Now call an airline rep and him to pull up fares . not current fares but all available fares. Ask him What is the" Fare Basis Code"
( and keep it in mind most of these codes are existing for a couple of months but some are introduced for a very short period) for the Lowest ones. Most are roundtrip a couple might be one way alos. Now ask him to read the rules of the fare.
The airlines employ many tactics to keep you from getting good fares.
For eg Fare basis T14se4n( Hypothetical)
permits travel only tuesdays and fridays
The return portion musty begin only after the first sunday from departure
or the usual sat night stay required

Most of these fares are 14 or 7 days advance. the fares are not loaded much in advance. The lowest fare avail possible changes evry month.So you wont get best fares if you call 6 months in advance. best time to call would be between 30-14 days before your flight.

Finally i would suggest call a couple of times. All agents are not customer savvy they just do their job and don put in that extra-effort and even if they want to they don't know how to try hard

i would suggest you try US air or United but you can also try Delta.If you want you can mail me at [e-mail] and tell me your travel dates i can research and get back to you
