How to Find the Cheapest Airfares

Ever wonder what the guy sitting next to you paid for his airline tickets? Chances are his fare was a lot lower than yours. These days, with airlines struggling, many are offering deals to fill their seats. You just need to know where to look for them.

If you had a lot of time on your hands, you could scour the Web -- checking out the airline, travel agent and resort Web sites for cheap tickets. But why waste time when the work has already been done for you by the team of travel and Internet professionals who run Cheapflights.com?

Cheapflights is the brainchild of eminent travel journalist John Hatt. In the late 1990s, he became so frustrated by the limited choices for booking flights available with the current media, he started the company in his attic with the aim of utilizing the Internet to easily provide consumers with information that previously was available to only a select few. Originally a British company, Cheapflights began operating in the U.S. in 2003.

Today, the company is hybrid of a price comparison site, deals publisher, travel search engine and flight aggregator with its employees spending their days searching the Web for the best airline discounts, then publishing them in one place for all to see. Some the sources of the terrific deals that offer up to 70 percent savings on airfares are Priceline, Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia and even the major airlines themselves.

In addition to the discount airfares it publicizes, the company''s newsletter also contains important travel news that keeps subscribers up to date on both U.S. and international headlines, as well as details about adventure, beach and resort travel destinations, cruises and hotels. There are also exclusive deals for subscribers that offer airline discounts on travel to the city of their choice.

All you have do to gain access to this valuable information is sign up for Cheapflights'' free newsletter, which is sent out weekly, by clicking here.  The service is free.
