What is the best website to book cheap flights?

I have checked travelocity and priceline was wondering if anyone knew of any beter ones.What is the best website to book cheap flights?
My answer to a similar question. These sites are all pretty safe to go through. Just be sure you understand policies, etc. in case you need to cancel or change your flight. Look over what you book several times to make sure it is what you want/need. As far as the one site that is the best, it's really hard to tell you. They will all vary and change all the time. One site may be lower for one person, higher for the next. You just have to do your research and see what yo find. In my expereince, the cheapest way to go is directly through the airline. In my past dozen trips, that I can remember, the airline has always been cheaper than the online discounters. Just look around and see what you can find.



Check around online. There are several online discounters, like expedia, priceline, orbitz, etc. This is usually the cheapest way to go. But you should also check directly through airline sites to see if they are running a special. For example, air tran often offers discounted tickets on Tuesdays and Thursdays and it is cheaper than through other online sites. Also watch in the newspapers and such, they often advertise specials in the newspaper.
Have you tried Expedia.com? they usually have some pretty good deals, even for last minute flights and sometimes even the airlines themselves, dealing directly with them, you might find a bargain.What is the best website to book cheap flights?
http://southwestairlines.com has flights as cheap as $58
try expedia, that was the last place i bought tickets from. I checked other websites and airlines but found the best deals there. also what was very helpful was travelzoo.com, do a supersearch and it will search more than one site at a time. I think bookbuddy.com can also be helpfull. Make sure you take into consideration additional charges and taxes. You may also look up different airports b/c the preices may be very different to the same destination.
