Post subject:  cheapest flight options

hey. I want to know everyone's opinions/recommendations on the best places to find the cheapest flights. I like to poll everyone I know in case someone has some helpful tips or knows some secret that I don't.

thanks

Not always the cheapest, but for the past few years if I have the option I will only fly Jet Blue! That personal tv makes the flight fly by...no pun intended

Pick an airline, get their credit card, and charge everything you can to that card. You'll rack up enough frequent flyer miles to give yourself a free trip somewhere ever year.

+1. If it goes where you are and goes where you want it's a sweet reasonable airline.

I like Delta and Southwest for domestic US flights. Delta allowed me to change the time of a flight after I had purchased the ticket. Because the price was lower than the original ticket, I didn't even pay a penalty.

I buy from the airlines direclty. No real need to go to Orbitz or such these days when the carriers ar so competitive. Southwest is good if you want to add a car rental to the flight. Their car prices seem quite competitive, but you might need to book several weeks or months in advance to secure the best deals.

I've only ever flown southwest, but they don't fly to where I want to go on this next trip.

if r u a student you can sometimes get better rates but there are some restrictions

try:
http://www.studentuniverse.com/fly/

i was only taking some classes at a local cc and that qualified me. i got a ticket to london for about $400 r/t.

Otherwise i would use orbitz.com , hotwire.com, travelzoo, cheaptickets etc....

really, I could have sworn that I checked and southwest didn't go there anymore. I'll double check now.

lurker, unfortunately I'm no longer a student. I wish I was because I've seen great student rates to japan. maybe I'll sign up for some classes.
