Where do you get your best results on "research" on best deals at?

Blake you are correct about Google Flight using same software ............ Google has purchased ITA so that makes sense ............. however I do not see the same functionality on Google Flights ........... ITA allows you to put in a range of number of days for your stay ......... such as 8-11 days ............ enter your day of departure earlier then your ideal date ............ you will get a 30 day calender listing all flights prices for stays of 8-11 days for a 30 day period ......this will allow you to find the best deals by just moving your ideal dates forward or backwards or extend your stay to maximize your vacation value.

I use Kayak for a start on flights. It will give you the cheapest flight dates for the month you want to travel. The airlines they don't list, I go to their website. Look for promo codes on Retailmenot.com. Hotels, search & call, promo codes. Negril One Stop, Booking.com, Orbitz, etc. Try to get a airline credit card, (pay in full after you book) get deals on free bags, skymiles. Ask for giftcards or skylines as Christmas & birthday gifts! "If you want to go, you got to know"..

We looked at flights r/t from our local airport....and got the best rate through U.S Airways....but it still seemed a lot higher than normal....so, out of curiousity(and, even though no search engine showed any flights for..) I looked at United.com..since they fly in/out of our airport,but I figured they don't go to MoBay...what happened was AMAZING....they showed a r/t flights for the exact same days...for $800 cheaper than ALL the booking agents/sites....HOW CAN THIS BE?....turns out(after I booked us)...that the flights showed the EXACT same departure/arrival times as the U.S.Airways flights..even the same layover/connection in Charlotte....after printing out the reservation I noticed that, although the FLT#s were different...the fine print said "our partner airline, us. airways"...so we are gonna be flying on the originally quoted flights after all ...for $800 less!! I wonder why the industry works that way...it was just a fluke of luck for us...
