Cheap tickets

I haven't flown in half a decade, so I don't remember what online agency I used for tickets the last time. I did a search on Google for cheap airline tickets, and the results were massive.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good online fare agency with cheap prices. I'm flying to Europe, don't need a hotel, just the round-trip flights.

I'm flying to Amsterdam in March, and the best fare I was able to find was actually directly at the airline site.

If you're not needing a hotel, chances are you're not going to see the discounts that come with the package bookings, which is really where the Expedia, orbitz, and etc really shine. Mobissimo is a site Maleficent recommended once upon a time, and that is my preferred first place to stop.

Second Amonkie's observation-go directly to the airline site of your preference. I was told of this 'trick'-to go to the site on or about a Wednesday or Thursday at midnight. Seems some good deals and price changes are put through then; and don't book too far in advance. I know I can get the best deals about 3 weeks before for flights to and from US cities-I don't know about international, though.

We use the major carrier websites instead of the broker sites. If there are problems with your tickets or refunds are required, the booker is the one you have to deal with not the airlines.

Skogafoss registers with the airlines she likes to use. They send spam with specials and deals. We like to go to Iceland so we follow IcelandAir and sometimes we pick good fares from their specials.

We always book early, more than 21 days if possible for best pricing, 14 day pricing is tolerable, and anything last minute pricing is just horrific.

I've been using Farecaster.com since I don't have them in my head like Skogafoss does. Also keep in mind most fares don't list things like taxes and extra charges, so remember to add those onto your costs.
