I am not the type of person who shops by cheapest fare. To me, airtravel is worth spending a bit more. It's that base cheapo stuff that makes airlines like Spirit so horrible and attracts the Kettles. I shop on availablity of higher classes of service and to avoid certain carriers like Spirit and Southwest, as well as any benefits I can get for my standing accounts on One World carriers.
