If you’re like me, you’ll search nine or ten travel websites before you book a flight. You’re not loyal to any airline or any website. You don’t necessarily care when you fly, as long as it fits your schedule. All you want is the absolute best price you can find.

That being said, my latest website for the best ticket prices is CheapoAir.com. The site promises to save 65% off published fares. I’m not good at math and I’m sure exactly what the published fares might be since there are so many out there, but the site did save me about $50 bucks over Yahoo Travel, the next best rate I could find. Yahoo in turn saved me about $50 bucks over Expedia, which saved me $15 to $20 bucks over several other sites like Orbitz.

HotWire.com would’ve saved me big bucks if I could travel at any time of day, but I’m constrained by work hours and travel time to and from the airport. Priceline’s prices were pedestrian at best. So was the site functionality, to be honest. My old standby, CheapTickets.com” was down for maintenance.

Kayak.com was pretty useless. I used to think that site was pretty good.

Anyway, just thought I’d share. Thanks to CheapOAir.com for letting me spend the weekend fishing at Cape Hatteras with the boys.
