Your best bet to find cheap flights is to begin with aggregator websites that can scan a number of other sites for you. Visit www.kayak.com, www.farechase.com, www.sidestep.com and www.farecast.com. Next, check the sites that don’t list their deals on aggregators or travel booking pages — like www.southwest.com and www.jetblue.com. After that, visit the old school sources for cheap airline tickets, such as www.travelocity.com, www.orbitz.com and www.expedia.com. Still more websites offering low fares are www.cheaptickets.com, www.hotwire.com, www.priceline.com and www.mobissimo.com. If you’re looking for international flights, try www.skyscanner.net, www.momondo.com and www.trabber.com. You may also want to sign up for the “Top 20 Travel Deals” newsletters at www.travelzoo.com. Now that you know how to dig on your own, read on for some examples of great deals you might find.
