Traveler Tip: Flights

Here are some website I have come across that offer travelers a helping hand with a budget savvy slant.

1. Farecast.com

The reason to use this program is the “Find the dates with lowest fare.” The graph projects what flights will cost with-in a 30 day window. Eye catching arrows let you know when to buy and when to sell, the probability that the price will lower, and an estimation of by how much the price will lower.

Additional features include Map where to travel, displays the flight path of the selected flight; Graph when to travel; and Grid length of travel, lets you choose a flight according to date and amount of time of flight.

Also allows you to compare searches in Expedia, Hotwire, PriceLine, Travelocity, and BookingBuddy for flights. Beware each comes up in its own pop-up window, so you will need to temporarily allow pop-ups.

Consolidate all your frequent flier programs flights, train, bus, and rental cars all in one secure place.

Links to Deals for cruises, beach getaways, romance getaways, and shop flights.

Cool additional feature Airport guides. If you have never been to the Denver International get basic information about weather, flight delays, and links to concourse maps and Denver Int’l official website. Other sites offer information about parking and fees, sites aren’t uniform in layout but do give access to the same information.
