| | | Searching for best air fares.
Just thought I'd share this experience.
It seems travelocity, expedia, priceline etc. are not so hot for air fares only...at least for the trip I'm searching for.
Non-Stop round trip from cols, oh to orlando, fl in December.
Airline websites:
Delta Airlines $290
Southwest Airlines $263
Travel websites:
Priceline $472
Travelocity $350 (Delta)
Expedia $477 (Delta)
Orbitz $451 (Delta)
...so when you're searching, don't forget to check the airlines pricing directly.

| Since posting, people I've talked to who travel alot say that none of the big travel sites can compete with airfare only prices, but that for hotels they are wonderful. | |

| I travel most weeks. I use Travelocity to compare airline prices, then go directly to the airline web site to make the reservation. Usuallly save money. | |
