You can also type "flghts to Orlando" in Yahoo's search form, and fill the nifty search form that you get back!!!

I fly a LOT.... 80-100 times a year, mostly for work. EVERY single time I look for flights, I find the cheapest flight directly on the airline's website. That includes just about all of the sites people have mentioned before. My strategy is that I look for the cheapest flight on Expedia, and then I go to that airline's website and look for the specific flights that are cheapest on Expedia. They're always exactly the same price. Plus, most booking sites charge at least $5 for a "booking fee". So it's actually cheaper through the airline directly. Most airlines guarantee that you will get the lowest fare through their website (I know American Airlines does this and probably most major airlines as well). Also, most "low-fare" carriers - i.e. Jet Blue and Southwest - ONLY allow you to book tickets through their website. So check those websites out as well, although in my case, I usually find cheaper flights on American or other major airline. So basically just keep shopping around, be as flexible as possible with your travel dates and airports (fly into alternate airports if feasible). But it's never a bad idea to check each airline's website directly.

Depending on where you are flying out of (which makes a HUGE difference in fares) check out southwest. I just got tickets through them for under $300 RT for a trip that expedia had over $600 RT. I recommend downloading the DING feature, I've gotten some $40 flights that way.
Also try http://www.flyertalk.com for tips on how to get cheap airfare. I usually just go to the section for Southwest, but I'm sure the others are really informative as well.

Some advice for you. I have worked with Airlines all my life and if there is anything I know American Airlines Sucks. They are expensive and operate old aircraft. I would fly Southwest Airlines. Cheap fares, new planes and good legroom.

Well the best deals I have gotten are on Hotwire, but remember that prices will be higher over the holidays. You can also try travel zoo.....

Try these sites like: www.travelocity.com, www.expedia.com, www.hotwire.com, and www.cheaptickets.com, I think those might help you and you can also check Yahoo!'s travel section. Good luck!!
