Cheap Air Flights - Can You Find The Best Deals Online?

Cheap One Way or Return Air Flights

This page was a work in progress for months and was continually updated for months - but once I found the best air flight prices my time was best spent (a) getting on that trip of ours, and then (b) just checking back in here regularly to ensure you could find cheap travel deals as well.

Well at least for the next two months because by then I'll be flying home from Rome.

That is, as long as I can find a cheap, fair, reasonably priced ticket for three Canadians flying out of the United States - first to San Juan and then home from Rome, Italy...what a pain in the internet butt!

As I discover the best and the worst the world wide web has to offer on flight deals, I'll be listing them here. This helps me stay on track, remember where I've searched for cheap air flights, and hopefully lends you a hand as you find your own deals on travel.

Best Price Sites I've Found for Flights

Vote Your Favorites Up

Take off quicker and cheaper by checking these links!

There are simply dozens of places to buy flight tickets online now. Trying to find the best deal can be a real pain, especially if you only want to buy one way tickets (which is my own problem today).

I've added this list as a voting module. I'd love your input...vote each resource up or down to show me which ones are your favorite and least favorites.

1

Vote Up

Expedia

Expedia is a lot like Hotwire only due to their buying power they often get one of the first bids on flight sales. Enter your prefered destination and let their search find you the best deals - easy to use and fast.0 points

2

Vote Up

Travelocity

Travelocity is most often recognized as a leader in sell off seats for air travel. Great for last minute deals.0 points

3

Vote Up

Cheap-o Air

While they have a massive following, this site still wants everyone to know about their great prices - precisely why they keep their flight ticket prices so low.0 points

4

Vote Up

Hotwire

Definitely my top pick for air travel for 2010. Pay in your home currency at the lowest rates.0 points

5

Vote Up

Orbitz

Orbitz doesn't seem to mind if you are traveling across the state or to a different continent - it will work equally hard to get the best deal.0 points

6

Vote Up

PriceLine

You want a deal? You'll get one here - although if International flights are your fancy you may be better off searching on #1 or #2...0 points

7

Vote Up

Vayama (International Flight Deals)

Flying overseas? Vayama is likely your best bet - they excel in international flights.0 points

Are You A Seasoned Traveler?

I need your help...

I'm trying to save money with my travel this year. In past years we've flown quite cheap using Priceline and other travel services online but this year we're in a pickle!

You see my sister works on a cruise line. She's getting us an awesome deal as family travelers but we're doing a trans-Atlantic crossing with her. Which means we fly out of the US, but home from Europe!

And if you've ever shopped for cheap air flights one way from Europe you already know that one way is more than twice the price of round trip! No, that's not a typo!

I've contacted a few airlines to be sure...thought I'd just buy the return tickets but only travel home with them...seems if you don't use the 'going' portion, they take it upon themselves to cancel the 'return' portion!

Do you have experience with this? Do you know the cheapest way to travel by air, one way only, home to the United States or Canada from Europe?

If so, I'd love your comments or assistance.

For our past two trips (and upcoming in 2009), I've been using this search engine for the best prices. What a difference in savings from the big conglomerate sites!


Do You Have A Favorite Travel Seller?

If you have a favorite travel site to share, or tips and ideas, let the world know by adding a comment below. When the recession hit the travel industry took a pretty big hit as well. This worked out to yours and mine favor really - we are able to get better prices on travel now more than even just three years ago.

As more companies are trying to figure out how to reach their market better (that is you and I, online) we simply have to share our discoveries! What is your favorite place or website to book air flights.
