Best places for booking Flights?

[SBP Studios]

I had heard someone on my last Diveboat talking about some website where they get last minute flights super cheap.

Where is your favorite place to find good deals on Flights to Mexico?

I'm pretty thorough when booking trips, i start by using www.kayak.com. That will tell you the near the lowest prices people have paid in the near past, that's good starting point. Priceline is good for true last minute packages, i always use them for hotels. try www.biddingontravel.com to find out what hotels priceline is using any given area, and the pricing people are getting. Another place I look is at charters companies apple and the like, sometimes you can find air only packages to cancun or cabo. Charters have their drawbacks, but are usually very cheap.

Usually I end up booking at the airline itself, it saves the booking fees, and usually get to pick the seats.

Good luck

We almost always fly with US Air. We book early and purchase on-line from the carrier. We ended up with $288 r/t fare and after taxes and such it was about $350.

I haven't tried priceline or orbitz, actually I ran the trip against Orbitz and it was about three times as much.

For you, you can probably do a SW Air to Houston and then on to Cancun or around there.

Happy hunting!

Between Tues and Thurs you can check out www.worryfreevacations.com on the right side they have a Red Hot Deals section. I've gotten air from Dallas for as little as $180.

You can also try www.funjet.com and www.applevacations.com for air only, you can usually get air from Dallas for under $300.

This one only seems to be good from a few departure cities.

For anyplace, I find it useful to work backwards. Most any airport will have a website with a list of all airlines usually including charters that service the airport. If not, usually you can find some up-to-date tourist site that covers this. Then you can use that information to make sure you're checking all your options one way or another, since you won't find charters or some discount or foreign airlines on the search engines.
