Lots of good tips, thanks. Another thing I’ve found is that quite often the best fares are on, not just Tuesday as mentioned, but also Wednesday and Thursday. Avoid Monday and Friday if possible.

Another tip..if you purchase a ticket through Delta online you have 24 hours to cancel w/no penalty…100% cash back. The purchase HAS to be done online. The 24 hour period could be used to search for other flights in the meantime.

No need to apologize for seeking the best price on the tickets even if they were paid for by another. That's like asking a zebra to change its stripes . . . DDFD at DivorcedDadFrugalDad.com’s last blog post..Best Asset to Own?

I would also check out farecast.com (which was recently purchased by MSN so the new URL is http://www.bing.com/travel/). They try to predict whether prices will increase or decrease and whether this is the time to buy.

I love Kayak, too. But when I was booking my mom and my trip to Ireland this fall (it's a 30/60 birthday present) Priceline was the best deal for me. I had priceline, kayak, and cheaptickets opened in tabs and kept checking the three. I managed to snag 2 RT tickets PHL-DUB for under $800. Rebe’s last blog post..I am Not a Gamer

My husband and I are both FF. Hubby flies over 150K miles per year, I fly over 50K miles.

Needless to say we are always booking a flight.

A few tips:

• kayak.com is your friend. They compare everything except southwest. You can find those most flight connections, at the cheapest prices, through kayak. We use them as a search engine then book directly with the airline.

• I have a Delta platinum rewards card. One of my perks is I can pay with miles instead of cash for any seat, any time.

• Another perk to a platinum AmEx card is free entry into most airport clubs. At northwest, they practically serve you a meal.

• If you are a FF, upgrades, baggage and other options can be free

• And finally, no person or blog explains the tips and secrets to flying as well as flyertalk.com/forum/
