Airfares are strange things. Because of the variety of special offers and different websites that sell airplane tickets, two seats right next to each other on the same flight may have very different prices!
The best way to make sure you don't pay more than you need to is to use an online flight comparison engine. Our favorite is Kayak.com, a slick new travel search engine created by co-founders of Orbitz, Expedia and Travelocity.
Kayak finds fares from airlines like JetBlue that don’t sell through online agencies and displays more choices of available itinerary/price combinations than any other travel site. Just enter your travel details in the search box below, and Kayak will search 100+ airlines and agencies to find you the best deals.
