quite a few others like kayak as well, but they've all been posted loads before, so a quick search should probably pull them up

Use a site like ebookers.com to find the lowest prices, then visit the airline's website and see if they will beat the quoted price if you book directly with them. Saved me $70 dollars. Most airlines have a policy that they will restitute the difference between their own price and ebooker's for example, and even offer you extra money or credit for your next flight. I know for one that Continental does that.

now that i'm home...

http://p070.ezboard.com/bpricelineandexpediabidding

check that, it's pretty good for advice on priceline type sites...

http://www.seatguru.com/ and that's just a handy site in general

edit to add: if you find a good deal at an airport that's not your local, check out spirit - http://www.spiritair.com/ for cheap internal flights, they fly around north americas.

Suppose you're looking for a flight from New York (JFK) to London Heathrow. You find a flight on ebookers for $700 with United Airlines. You then visit the website of United and see if you can find that same flight for less money. If that same flight will cost you more on www.united.com, see if they have a policy that will refund you the difference and maybe even some extra money.

I always book direct with Continental...its the only airline from Newark to Manchester. You can book your seat at the time of booking and check in on line 24 hrs before your flight.

Is 389 GBP inclusive of taxes etc...if not it could be another $100 or so.
