Airline tickets: find a bargain faster
There’s a great post over at Sound Money Tips that talks about how to use Google to search for airline tickets.
Let’s say you want to go from New York to LA next week. Just type in those two locations — ‘new york los angeles’ — in Google’s search box, and at the top of the results screen you’ll see fields for your departure and return dates. Open the Expedia, Hotwire, Orbitz, and Hotwire links in separate tabs/windows, then compare the available flights and prices. Voila…
I knew Google could be used for calculations and conversions, but I had no idea about this feature. Who knows what else they have up their sleeves?
Do visit the original post because the comments add even more information about good ways to search. I prefer the original tip because it’s so easy, particularly if you use Firefox or have the Google toolbar installed in Internet Explorer—it’s a single click and easier to use than most travel sites (maybe they could learn a thing or two from this feature!). The other ideas are definitely worth considering, though.
