What are the cheapest sites for airline tickets?
No website always has the lowest price. The reason is simple. Some airlines don’t sell tickets on any website other than their own. Two examples are Southwest in the US and Ryanair in Europe. Here are a couple of things that you can try. 1. Start with www.kayak.com. They shop many different websites and combine the results in one display. Even they can’t guarantee the lowest price, but they can save you a lot of time looking at major airline and third-party websites. Then, check the websites of the discounters such as Southwest that don’t sell through anyone else. 2. If you’re very flexible, try the “opaque” websites such as Hotwire and Priceline’s “name your own price” feature. Airline use them to sell excess seats and they are cheaper than the normal published price. The downside is that you cannot pick the airline or flights. You agree to a price and dates and are given your flight schedule when the purchase is complete. It is nonrefundable, so you can’t change it or cancel it if yo
The best way to get the best price is by comparing, but with so many sites, it is quite difficult and time consuming. A friend told me about http://www.lowfares.com/ where you can select different sites and only enter your information once- showing the different fares from different sites- this makes so much easier to compare and find that cheap price. i always use it when im looking to get the best price. happy travels.
