Saving Money on Airfares

Search Airline Sites Individually
Increasingly, some airlines have “private” sales, reserving their very best fares for their own sites. With the exception of Southwest and JetBlue, which sell fares on their own sites exclusively, most of the airlines that do this are smaller domestic airlines or large international carriers, but we’ve even seen Delta do it, and we’re not talking here just about last-minute weekend fares. Alaska, Air New Zealand, Malaysia, Frontier, Qantas, Singapore, SAS, Varig and others are using this strategy. Niche carriers like USA3000 and Allegiant Air usually don’t share their fare data with third-party sites at all, although USA3000 fares are included in Sidestep.com searches.
