Best Site for Airfare

OK, I'm sure this will generate a lively discussion, but perhaps there
is something I don't know out there.

Other than Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, and Priceline...are there any
alternative web sites you use to get alternate pricing for airfare?
Hoping to find some unique choices that might give me something new to
choose from.

TIA

Use Sidestep to locate the fare.

Note that many airlines are now claiming to meet booking engine
prices, without the booking fees. I think booking engines may already
be on the wane. First hotels, now airlines. And cruises are going to
be harder for them, too.

And a damn fine one, at that.

For finding airfares, try www.itasoftware.com. Note that most all search
sites do not include some of the low-fare airlines like Southwest. Thus, if
they are an option, it is necessary to also go to their website(s) to check
out prices and availability.

Hi Dillon,

Now, this brings up some questions.
Frist of all Sidestep is a windows program and it get id's by some
anti-spyware programs as spyware. So my suggestion is if you are going
to attempt to use Sidestep then use their web interface.

Next Dillon is using Linux, so I am wondering if he has managed to get
the Sidestep program to run on Linux, or if he is just using the web
interface?

I actually use SuSe 9.2 at home. However, I am trying to get a 300mhz
computer set up to test out Scientific Linux.

I always check www.southwest.com to see if they cover my destination. They
offer special internet fares that are hard to beat. For example, we flew
from BWI (Baltimore) to San Jose for $88 each one way (one stop, change of
planes in Phoenix). This worked well for us because I was picking up a car
in the SF East Bay area to drive back to the East Coast.

Besides the other fine suggestions in this thread, I have also used
mobissimo and qixo with some success.
