Go to the website that I created, and use the booking engine that I worked on with a team of developers. :)

Ahaha I drive by that place almost every day. On an unrelated note: Do you know who Figure (Josh) is? He's close with Mendel and Tye.
Also, if anyone hasn't said so yet: Bing. srsly. |

| Unless you're around southern indiana, you don't drive by the headquarters, probably just one of the stores. You know we have like 50 stores in like 13 states :p |

There is no best website. Sometimes you'll find that one website might have an 'Expedia Special Deal' or the like, in essence where that site have bought a job lot of flights from the carrier at a discount and are passing that on to customers. That'll separate them from the rest but that could be any website and unless you trawl every single one you aren't going to know about it, if it even exists!
Most online travel agents just source tickets from the GDS, essentially the online reservation system the airline subscribes to Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo, Worldspan etc...
I find that for travelling within the US it makes most sense and is easiest to book directly with the airline. When changes to flight schedules occur and you need an involuntary reschedule it can be a hell of a lot easier to work with the airline than it can with the morons at Expedia, Travelocity etc. who are really just monkeys and know jack all about ticketing. That's not to say the airline's personnel are much better but you at least take one level of complications out of the equation. |
Figured that out by searching all of these. It varies, and the best way to find cheap ones is just to constantly research all of them.
Cheers, everyone! :) |

orbitz automatically sends you a refund if someone buys the fare lower than you after you purchase it. talk about no worries if the price goes down after you buy it. |

Hardly. If you read through the T&Cs and know anything about ticketing the chances of getting a refund are exceptionally remote.
That person needs to book through Orbitz for the exact same itinerary (in both directions) but also in the same booking class. That isn't just coach/business/first but the sub-booking class of that cabin. As the price of the ticket is determined by the booking class of that ticket it is unbelievably unlikely that someone will end up with the same booking class but have paid a different price. OK, so in some cases it is possible but they usually apply for different city pairs so that rules out the Orbitz guarantee.
The thing is a gimmick. At a guess I'd say your chance of getting a refund from Orbitz are less than 0.01%. |
