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.
