In the WSJ online article Ways to Stretch Travel Dollars in the New Year by Scott McCartney he covers all the latest ways to search for low priced fares. McCartney provides a wealth of information for all travelers especially for the spring break travelers here in the coming months. The article provides old search sites like Expedia, Orbitz, and Travelocity as well as new and improved sites such as Yapta and ExpertFlyer. These new sites that McCartney lists actually update the flight destinations automatically everyday, looking for the lowest prices then send you an update of those prices. Also, the article provides places were you can buy extremely cheap tickets such as from consolidators who sell tickets that airlines think they won't be able to sell.
The reason I was interested in this article is because I'm trying to save the most money I can for my spring break trip and this article provided a lot of ways to do it. The sites provide in the article are great ways on saving money especially if your on a budget. The Yapta site seems like it's going to be a really good way to keep you updated on the airfares so you don't have to constantly check on your own. Sites like Yapta are great because they not only save you money but they save you time from searching around all the sites for the best deals. Also, Yapta is in beta testing so if you do use it you can send your feedback to the company so they can improve it to meet some of the users additional needs.
