The best website for airfare?

Question

I want to fly from Tampa to San Fransisco in December, but I have never flown before.

I want to buy my ticket online, but I don't know where to go to find my ticket as easy as possible. Cheap is good too.

Answer 1

I fly between 80-100 times a year and every single time I get an airline ticket, I find the cheapest flight directly on the airline's website. Like if I'm flying American Airlines, which I do a lot, I go to www.aa.com. I usually check with Expedia.com or Travelocity.com and see which airline has the cheapest flights, then I go to that airline's website and pick the same flights and they're the same price. Actually, they're cheaper because almost all of those websites charge a $5 (or more) "booking fee". Also, most airlines - including American - guarantee you will find the cheapest prices for their flights directly on their website. One more thing: Just about all of the "low-fare" airlines, like Southwest or JetBlue, ONLY advertise their flights on their own websites, so you can't book one of their flights on Expedia.com or any other websitte. So check their sites also, although they're also not always the cheapest either - almost every time I fly, I get the best deal on American or USAirways or one of the other major airlines.

Also one MORE thing: If you're willing to fly into other airports, like Oakland instead of San Francisco, look into those as well. The more flexible you are, the more likely you are to find a cheaper deal.

So basically, shop around but most likely it's best to book from the airline directly.

Answer 2

I have discounted travel rates, all major airlines, not a problem
you should purchase at least 3 weeks in advance.

www.travelgetaways4less.com, it is actually a wholesale of
travelocity rates, so should be cheapes you can get...

Hope you have a good time, & fly again soon...

Answer 3

You should probably comparison shop on the major travel sites (no single site is always cheapest). The more flexible you can be on the exact dates and times, the better prices you'll find.

Answer 4

Try Kayak.com or mobissimo.com. Those sites are flight aggregators. They scour other sites for flight deals. Also, try airfarewatchdog.com.
