I've used travelzoo in the past, it's good, but usually I leave it up to an agent.

Sidestep.com has a comparison tool. And I've been having better luck buying directly through the airline, specifically Southwest, than any of the "bargain" sites as of late.

Travelzoo, as Krissy said.

I haven't used an agent in years! Can you really get better deals through them?

No, you can't get better deals through a travel agent unless you are mass-booking for a film studio, rock group, etc.

I do it just to put it in someone else's hands.

Thank you all. Kayak and sidestep have been very helpful.

Try AirfareWatchDog.org--they show you the best deals leaving from your airport to cities all over the world and link you the the sites that provide them. They'll send you e-mails once or twice a week with special deals--if you want them to...

I've used them a lot for quick last minute getaways: Rome for $400 RT, etc...

Thanks, Tom! I'll check 'em out.

But I think you mean .com not .org.

I don't think they're nonprofit!
