Booking Cheap Flights on USAirways Just Got Easier


Booking Cheap Flights on USAirways Just Got Easier

Do you use your mobile device to search for cheap flights?

I just noticed that USAirways has made some real nice updates to their mobile website at usairways.com, and it's much easier to search for cheap flights with them now. When you access their website from an internet enabled mobile phone, it launches their new mobile site that's loaded with all kind of goodies - an easy search for cheap flights, a booking agent for discount airfare, a quick link to airline reservations, and much more. 

With the mobile US Airways site, you can do just about everything you're used to doing on your computer. The site is designed in a low-graphics format that's very fast and super easy for your phone or PDA to read.

Search DAILY for Unexpected Airfare Deals


When it comes to finding the cheapest airfare, it often comes down to a matter of  timing.

It's a given fact that flights are usually cheapest when airfare is purchased more than 21 days in advance of the flight. This is simply a rule of thumb however as the truth is that the individual airlines will change their discount airfare almost daily. The daily fluctuation in discount airfare prices is influenced by lots of things that are often known to the public. Search airfare daily and you can get real lucky, sometimes finding a bargain basement airfare that you weren't expecting.

Where should you search...?

As always, I recommend the Kayak Search Engine for airfare searches.

Airfare Secrets by Tony Morrison


Q. What do you think of the"Airfare Secrets" book that was written by Tony Morrison? I'm seeing his book advertised everywhere and am wondering if it's for real or just good marketing?

A. I think it's a little bit of both really - good book AND good marketing.

Since finding cheap airfare is all about strategy, specifically knowing the air travel business and timing, who better to teach you the ins and outs than an airline insider?

I purchased Tony's book and have learned enough to be fairly dangerous (let's just say that I don't pay what you pay for airfare)! Because of his former status as an airline ticketing agent, Tony has the insider airfare dope that most folks are not exposed to.

BTW, if you read the book you'll see that Tony has a bit of a chip on his shoulder after getting axed by his employer - he seems to really enjoy getting the word out. If you travel by air even just a little bit, you'll save some coin by following the methods in this book.



You can read more about the book on the Tony Morrison's Airfare Secrets website.

Airfare-Now Recommends Kayak for Airfare Deals


Airfare-Now Recommends Kayak for Airfare Deals

When searching for discount airfare online, you want to believe that the travel websites (Travelocity, Hotwire, etc.) are presenting you with the best possible airfare deals that are currently available. The problem with this logic however is that the online travel agents can only provide you with choices from the products and services that they have available.

The reason I'm constantly suggesting Kayak.com over Travelocity and the like is simple - Kayak is NOT an online travel AGENT but rather an online travel SEARCH ENGINE. Kayak draws on its programming reach to gather information from literally hundreds of available travel related web sources and sorts the collected data by the requested filter (flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises, and vacation packages). By presenting the collected information in this fashion, Kayak allows you to view more available options on the web.

The Kayak.com website actually organizes and displays the information it collects online, then it lets you select your deal by taking you to the actual sight where you can do the booking yourself. If Kayak finds you an airfare deal at United for example, you'll be whisked over to United to book the flight.

The process for using Kayak is fairly simple. . If you go to www.kayak.com, and you try to book a flight for example, you get presented with a window where you input your travel details. A calendar then appears on the right side of the main page that shows the best fare results made by other Kayak.com users in the past two days. This is some sort of a shortcut but you are asked to check this out as this best deal offered before may no longer be available. You can either choose a result from this calendar to proceed or you continue with your own search.

Once you make your flight selection on the next window, you leave Kayak.com and you are sent to the booking window of the actual airline website where they automatically search for the flight you initially indicated at Kayak.com. Your flight booking then continues and is finalized directly with the airline itself.

There is a Kayak search engine on my right sidebar if you'd like to give it a try!
