Get the Best Fare on the Flight You Really Want

With the increasing cost of fuel, traveling is becoming more costly, especially when it comes to airline travel. Believe it or not, there is a way to avoid sticker shock the next time you purchase an airline ticket. Savvy travelers know the secret to accessing the tickets they really want and getting rebates on their purchases.

cFares.com is a Web site that allows users to search for flights and get ticket information from many online travel sites as well as wholesale sites that they normally wouldn't be able to access. The goal of cFares.com is to get you the best price for the best ticket. Forget about finding obscure carriers at strange times on other travel Web sites. With a cFares Platinum Membership, you'll get the best price for the ticket you really want more than 90 percent of the time -- and you'll get a rebate after you make your purchase.

How does it work?
cFares offers two levels of membership: Gold, which is free, and Platinum, which costs $50 a year. As a Gold member, you can search through all the fares and see the best deals for both Gold and Platinum members. The real savings comes with the Platinum membership, which allows you to purchase the best-priced fares along with rebates that can save you even more. Most Platinum members make up their membership fee in only 1 or 2 ticket purchases.


Test cFares yourself by visiting www.cfares.com and search for a flight. The easy-to-use system utilizes a patent-pending technology to search for flights matching your criteria and then shows you the most relevant options. You’ll be able to easily see the Platinum and Gold prices and the rebate offers for each Platinum ticket. For example, one particular search from Los Angeles to Hong Kong came to $932 for members on cFares and more than $942 on other travel Web sites. But if you are a Platinum member, you get a $58 rebate so your flight totals $874. That is more than $68 less than the lowest price on other sites. And you can save a lot of money on domestic flights as well. A recent search for a ticket from Seattle to New York City found a direct flight for Platinum members for $349 after the rebate. The price listed for the same flight on another travel site was $386. The cFares member saves $37. Learn more about cFares membership by visiting www.cfares.com/members.
