Plane Tickets

I typically try travelocity and expedia then go to the airlines site who had the cheapest ticket. Sometimes buying direct is a little cheaper.

There's another site that supposedly seaches all the airlines sites. I think it's called kayak.com

It probably depends more on the airline. In about 3 weeks I'm going to Montana. My grandmother is paying for all our tickets. Well she bought everyone else's in May. But didn't buy mine because I wasn't sure if I could go. Well I could and she just bought them last week.

Well I was looking at different sites. She bought my dads and grandfather's on Orbitz in May. I don't know how much. I looked on Orbitz and the price was about $590-600. That was for a NWA flight. I decided to take a look at the NWA website. I did a search there and found the tickets were $550. About $40-50 cheaper.

So I suggest, do a search on the different sites(Orbitz, Expedia, etc...), find the cheapest flight, or the one that best suits you, and then go to that airlines website. Because if could be alot cheaper if you buy directly from the airline.

I usually use Yahoo! Travel, which I think is operated by Travelocity, and I've never had a problem. For our most recent trip we booked a vacation package (flight, hotel, car), and everything was taken care of -- none of the reservations were screwed up, which was a relief!

I have never had an issue using travelocity, orbitz, or ebay. Tedginn is right though, most the time now you can get the best deal from the airlines site. Also, there have been times where I have a ticket cheaper and they allowed me to purchase at that price.

BTW the time you spend searching for the best deal I think you will find that they will all be the same ball park.

BTW Tedd - You flying into Billings? It is actually neat when you take off it is like you are flying off the side of a mountain.

I've never had any trouble with Priceline, Orbitz or Hotwire. I use Hotwire the most, but never had trouble with either of the others.

Are you flying into a major city of somewhere like Kamloops ?

You can even ebay it. People sell vouchers out there all the time.

Vouchers, rewards, miles, etc are not usually valid for international travel, and this is a round-trip flight from Ohio to Edmonton. Still, that's an excellent idea!

I actually checked last night to do the round trip from CMH (Columbus) to YEG (Edmonton) using my US Airways miles. Turns out US Air resells America West for that, so on a 2000-mile (as the crow flies) flight, they had a nice little 4000-mile detour through Phoenix Sky Harbor. :slappy:

Haaha that is quit the detour...lol :crazy: They still have a lot of merger bugs to fix :-) including finding 78,000 missing miles from my America West account after they merged the 2 accounts.

I totally forgot about international travel and using the vouchers. If I recall some airlines will allow for international travel to Canada.
