Fare/Route Planning Sites
 

it has occured to me that maybe some folks
here may not be aware of two low(er) profile
fare/route finder sites.

when i am interested in cheap roundtrips
and don't really care much about departure times, i use www.air-fare.com. it lists
the lowest fares found on a short list
of (major) city-pairs. it is also a classic
html-only site, so you bookmark the fare
page(s) of interest and not have-to retype
the itinerary when checking for new/lower
fares. they also highlight fares that have
dropped significantly ... wonderful for
finding tkt pricing errors!

when i need to more carefully engineer my
itinerary, i use www.itasoftware.com. it
permits open jaw routes, departure date
windows and alternative airports w/in a
mileage range that you specify.

anyone have a favorite that they care to add?

Thanks for the tip on air-fare.com. I really like being able to bookmark one city and getting updates without having to do a lot of searching different sites.

very cool, dranz. iata is my other choice as well, having stumbled upon many months ago.

thanks for the tip dranz, I'm always loooking for new sites with cheaper fares!
