Evaluate Airfare Prices Online

• Using the online travel comparison websites gives you a large variety of low airfare prices. Do searches on at least three of these sites and stick to the well-known ones, like Travelocity, Priceline, Orbitz, Expedia and Kayak. Choose two different departing and arrival airports to check, when possible, to find cheaper tickets. Many times the price fluctuates between the various ones. Try a number of departure dates, return dates and times of travel to get a full range of ticket pricing. Look for the cheapest ones on each search, and compare them to the others. Make note of the layovers, flight times and extra charges added to the overall price. Find the best low airfare deal that will work for your trip.
  
  

Check the Source for Low Airfare

• Go directly to the airline websites to find low airfare and special pricing for flights to your destination. Some of the airlines--such as Southwest--are not included in the comparison searches, but oftentimes you can find a better deal on your flight tickets. Other airlines offer deals only available online as "Internet Specials" or similar. Find the airline websites through adding ".com" to the name, like www.Southwest.com or www.United.com. Check to see if any cheap package flights or other deals to fly to your city are offered from these places.
  
  

Use Other Sources to Find Low Airfare

• Call, go in person or check online with all of the local travel agencies or travel clubs in your surrounding area. Often, travel agents get special promotions on airfare not found elsewhere. Check with places like AAA or similar types of travel companies and ask about any ongoing deals, cheap tickets or other discounts on flights to your destination. See how the ticket prices compare to the other ones you found. Make sure you have a total price including any extra charges, like luggage, flight amenities or additional fees added to the base ticket price.
