Aside from the usual Expedia/Orbitz/Travelocity fare, I sometimes use a site called QIXO that digs through data from tons of different travel sites. For cheap fares, I always check out JetBlue, Southwest, Airtran, etc. for possible bargains. Traveling out of T.F. Green Airport in Rhode Island can also save you money if you can swing the commute. The advantage to using a booking agent is that you have the opportunity to keep flexible with your flights until the last minute, as they can frequently give you credit toward another flight if you have to rebook midstream. I only use booking agents for work flights, though -- not personal. Happy bargain hunting! --Eileen C., Mary's sister M:
