Word of Advice -

Information Only. No Web Site. Courtesy of Travel & Leisure Magazine. Beware of booking a flight through an Airline's web site. Most Airline web sites show only their own fares and schedules. Online travel agencies let you comparison-shop all airlines at once. Airline fares can change hour to hour and day to day. If possible call about the same Airfare the next day. You can always cancel and rebook the flight. Be careful of hidden cost. Can you control the routing of your trip. How many stops. Make sure that it is a Non-Stop flight. Not just a through flight. Although, to save you may have to make several stops along the way. If this is not an inconvenience and the price is right ...and your not in a hurry, this may be the best way to go. Sometimes you see the lowest price for that day, but your don't know the airline or the flight times until after you buy your ticket. Just be careful. Remember, most tickets purchased at a low fare, are not refundable.
