  • What's a good website to find cheap airline tickets?

    I haven't bought airline tickets since 1998, so I'm kind of lost on new technology.

    And this is for a friend btw.

    For travel in certain major US & Canadian cities. www.southwest.com

    For travel to the Pacific Northwest www.alaskaair.com

    I never really found a deal on orbitz and I was put off by the membership fee but some people sware by it so... www.orbitz.com

    Then you have the standbies which allow you to establish a rough estimate: www.expedia.com and www.travelocity.com

    Lastly a check of google brings up these promising sites which I've never used:

      If you're flying in Europe, try Ryanair, EasyJet, and Sky Europe.

        I've found that most places have fairly similar pricing.

        ACK!
        Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

          www.kayak.com is good for comparing the various airlines and agencies, particularly for travel within North America. Note that Southwest isn't listed on this site, but pretty much all the other airlines and the discount sites (cheaptickes, travelocity, etc.) are.

            Check the main discount carriers: Airtran, America West, JetBlue, Southwest or Song.

                cheapflights.com is the 1st place I check (you don't buy the tickets there, it sends you to another site). That usually sends me to cheaptickets.com, but occassionally travelocity has the best fares. Then I check the various airlines to see if they have any specials.

                I have no idea how cheapflights makes any money.

                      If you can get a Southwest flight, do. After that, check Expedia.

                        I don't think southwest flies to germany.

                        it'd be cool if they did.

                        I may fly again soon as well. But I'd have to get a passport first.
