airline tickets

May 27th, 2012 at 07:41 pm

We need to order airline tickets to travel back to Wisconsin for our son's wedding next month. It's been sort of touch and go as to whether we'd able to afford the trip, which is why they haven't been ordered yet.

I am just wondering if anyone out there knows of a site to buy cheaper tickets? We know about kayak.com, expedia, travelocity, etc. we've checked BJs but it wasn't cheaper through them.

Any other ideas?

    I have been finding best airfare directly from airlines, lately. {Use a site like cheaptickets.com to narrow down the cheapest flights - then buy directly from Airline, for less. Cheaptickets used to be REALLY good, but haven't bought from them in many years. I just use to find the best airline for particular flights}.

    Anyway, I just saw this site, which may also be helpful:

    P.S. I just found www.google.com/flights, which has been great - easier to search more airports and more flexible days.

    Try to buy on a Tuesday at 3pm eastern or before. Airlines update their available tickets and prices at that time...from what I've read.

    I have had luck with bt-store.com in the past, and just scheduled my trip home to the States for a conference and board exam through them. In fact, they lead directly to me getting a three-leg trip for less than what the other companies were charging for a simple round trip fare! Shopping around really does offer some insurance of saving travel dollars, sometimes... good luck.
