News and Tips about Air Travel, Business / Industry, Flying, Airplanes, and other fun

I just wrote this email to a friend, and it’s worth sharing. In the past year the online cheap flight-deal landscape has changed. Things aren’t as simple — no, but they’re better. Witness the CheapAir flexible travel search: You don’t need to enter your desired dates, just your destination. Type in where you want to go and it returns all your options, with what dates they’re available. That’s pretty sweet functionality you couldn’t find last year.

So, here are the places I go now when looking to fly:

1. Air Fare Watchdog: I start here, scouting any deals on destinations that the flight searches might not turn up.
2. Orbitz: I go here next if my dates are set in stone.
3. CheapAir: I go here if my dates aren’t concrete.
4. Mobissimo: I finish here to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
