This week, the New York Times offered up two helpful articles about the current best sites for finding cheap airfares: Booking a Flight the Frugal Way by the Frugal Traveler and Sites That Do Your Fare Digging by the Practical Traveler. I guess nobody wants to hear from the Disturbingly Rich and Wasteful Traveler.

Instead of having to read through these long articles again every time I need to book a flight, I found myself just making a list of all the handy links that were thrown out.

  • Kayak.com
  • Bing Travel (also bought FareCast)
  • Momondo.com
  • ITASoftware.com (doesn’t sell tickets)
  • cFares.com ($50 annual fee, but pays rebates)
  • Yapta.com – Tracks flight prices
  • Vayama.com – International flights
  • Airfare.com – International flights

    I would add mobissimo.com to the list. It’s similar to Kayak. I recently began using Bing Travel for their price predictor. I’m not sure how acurate it is, but it’s a cool tool.

    I’d add freefrequentflyermiles.com cheap fares are good, free flights are better.

    I have been looking at the scanner for awhile too. I saw Costco coupons for the scanner recently. I think I will use my Costco Amex rebate to get it.

    My wife uses Kayak and has been pleased. I like the comparison shopping it allows you to do.

    I have not really heard of many of the others, but I will keep this list, thanks!

    You don’t need that list of websites, you only need one: sidestep.com.

    This list just saved me over $200. I booked my flight through vayama. The company didn’t issue the ticket immediately (it took less than 24 hours though) but the 24 hour wait was worth the savings.
    Thanks!
