Which group are you and why (lower fares, package deals, no reservation fee, bonus miles, loyalty program, convenience/direct, selecting seats, promotions, etc)?

I'm in a marketing class and would appreciate your candidness.
4) Corporate Travel website. Because if I don't I don't get reimbursed.

For personal travel, I usually do 2, unless there is a multi-airline combination that is cheaper/more convenient, then I do 1. Mostly to avoid Orbitz add-on fees.
