Cheap flights thread again
I found out on Thursday, this week, that I have to fly to England this weekend for 2 weeks.
Normally I use www.kayak.com which found me a Delta RSW-MAN-RSW ticket at $1,196. Delta.com was slightly higher.
A friend recommended www.sidestep.com which search redirected me to www.vayama.com where I bought a Delta roundtrip ticket via Atlanta, inclusive of taxes and fees, for $874.
Needing a real confirmation I telephoned Vayama with their reference number and a very helpful operator quoted me the Delta confirmation number immediately. I then called Delta, quoting their number, and got seating allocations on all four flights.
An excellent result with a saving of $322 on the ticket.
For the car rental I am again using www.1car1.com which had a Vauxhall Corsa Plus for the 2 weeks for £257.88 inclusive.

I like that Vayama site seems to supply lots of flight options, should be useful.
