Where to get cheap airline tickets online?

You get them offline.

Cheaptickets.com and expedia.com are some of the lowest ones I've seen for the US I haven't gone out of the US, though, so I wouldn't know about international flights.

Google it urself

There's no secret, magic website with the "cheapest" airfares. You have to do the research, and be as flexible as possible regarding travel dates.

Check the major travel sites (airgorilla, expedia, priceline, travelocity, etc.) and also check the airline websites. I have usually (not always, but usually) found the best fares on the airline websites.

For example:

www.aa.com
www.delta.com
www.icelandair.com
www.united.com

Remember to check airlines like Southwest that do not use the travel sites.

You are > better off < buying the ticket directly from the airline unless a travel site or travel agency offers a significantly better price.

Avoid buying tickets from unknown "travel" websites as some of them are scams.

Check with a real travel agent to ask about promotional fares and special deals.

If you also need a hotel or rental car, check the cost of combining the purchases in a package.

Some travel websites.

The best way to get the cheapest airline tickets would be to shop around (view various websites for various prices), book months in advance with a reputable and an accommodating airline, book on the days when fare prices are not as high, and during times where air fares typically drop.

Depends on where you are going, where you are leaving from, and when. Duh.

McDonald's buttermilk tenders are so heavenly.

Frontier! They have DIRT CHEAP tickets! I go to NY FREQUENTLy, and it's much cheaper than taking the bus!

  • What is the best site to buy plane tickets online? I want to book a flight for a one off trip, I googled my city to my destination and I saw listings from around $175 (spirit airlines) up to $500 (United and other airlines). What are the reasons for such a price gap in airline tickets? Is this accurate? What should I be expecting to pay from Chicago to Texas and what site do you recommend?
  • Why do some people who book Frontier wait till they get to the airport to pay for checkin luggage when it's more than when you pay online? Like you have a small fee online. If you wait till you're at the airport it's a bigger fee. Are these people irrational?
  • How to book cheap flight? I'm trying to book a flight from the Heathrow (UK) airport to Orlando (MCO) international airport. I'm using expedia.co.uk for a flight and it is showing the departure flight as 300 pounds and the return flight as 0 pounds. Why is the return flight 0 pounds? Other sites show the flights costing 600 pounds or more. Is there some sort of catch?
  • Why are Germans so cheap? I was on a Ryanair flight from Frankfurt to Dublin and most of the passengers were German. None of them ordered any sandwiches, coffee, or drinks while on other flights (Italians, Irish, English, etc) people usually order something. Why are the german so cheap?
