We haven't had much luck pricing airfare with any travel website from Grand Rapids, Michigan, home of the 3rd most expensive airport in these here United States. We just check the airlines daily, sometime more often, and find that the prices will come down, sometime for only a couple of hours. So, we have to be diligent and ready to push that button.

For example, for this trip coming up this week, I began checking prices upon our return from our last trip in May and Delta was at $ 832 each. I continued to check several times a day and, voila, the price came down one day to $ 403 each and I booked. Sometimes it is best to be flexible on your days as it is cheaper to fly out and back on some days than on others.

It has been this way for our last several trips. I check other sites from time to time, but, I always end up booking directly through the airlines web site. But I see some ideas here that I will add to my search for our June trip.
