Best Airfares?

When you plan your next air travel, don't settle for the best fare offered on Orbitz or Travelocity, or any of the other search sites. Use them for research. Find the flights and the fares that best suit your needs, write down all the information, and then go directly to the airlines web site and look up the specific flights there. Often you will save another $10 to $15 or more there. The reason is that these popular search sites derive their income from the airlines. The airline pays them for each ticket they sell. That means the airline must get that additional money from ...YOU!. So if XXXXXXX says your best fare to Minneapolis on Feb 12 at 9am will be $273 on WonderJet, go to the WonderJet website and look up that same flight, date and time. You might be surprised. Sure, it may only be a small savings, but you'll have enough to spring for pizza with the grandkids. One word of caution - DO NOT call the airlines to book your flight. Speaking with a real live ticket agent costs money. This extra savings only works online!
