While I am not in the travel industry...
I have found amazing deals by bidding my own price at http://www.travelocity.com/
I'm talking saving $600-$800 dollars on roundtip flights just by bidding..I bought tickets for "two roundtrip" traveling across several states for just $187.00 total including taxes! -just last Christmas season. I hope this helps you some? You may check it out...  IP: Logged |

I will... though I'm pretty certain at this point that last year was much cheaper overall.IP: Logged |

Hey AG-Are you looking for specific markets (cities) or just looking as a whim (I want to go somewhere cool, and I don't care where...) Once upon a time I was a travel agent. I can't promise I can provide any current tips, but I had to see what the thread was about. MK IP: Logged |

I have found some new sites that are really cool. I haven't found any tangible savings yet, though (unless I go for longer much longer than I'd like to go for).  IP: Logged |
