Airline Tickets, General Buying Tips

       Comparison shop. Determine the complete cost of the trip in dollars, including all service charges, taxes, processing fees, etc. Beware of unreasonably cheap prices or free trips from shady websites - you usually get what you pay for!
       You can comparison shop for airline tickets by using the big names in travel reservations:

       In addition, you can visit the homepage of the airline of your choice.  This is crucial if you fly carriers like SouthWest Airlines, and JetBlue because they do not list their fares in sites similar to Orbitz or Travelocity.
       We are very impressed by a new site on the Internet, mobissimo.  The site compares flight reservation data from 80 different sites, and provides you with the best fare.  They simply redirect you to the cheapest site, so you do not have to search various sites to find the lowest fare.  We have consistently found the lowest fares on this site.  From our experience, mobissimo generally you directly to a specific airline's website.
