I agree with "fargoman" ................ matrix.itasoftware.com is the ONLY place to search airfare ........... this is the software used by travel agents ................ if you are flexible on travel dates, you can bring up 30 days of travel possibilities covering all airlines (except Soutwest) ............ just click on "calender" instead of "exact dates", enter the amount of days you want to travel, and a 30 day calender will appear with the cheapest flight listed for each day .......... you can also enter a range of days (ex. 7-10 days), and they will bring up a 30 calender listing prices for 7, 8, 9, & 10 days of travel ............ many times going a day or two earlier or returning a day or two later will result in some significant savings ............ many times we have saved enough on airfare staying a day or three longer to pay for the extra nights of hotels, etc....
Please note you can NOT book through ITA ............ you must book through another site or the airline themselves .............. ITA is only a information site
Also check flights EVERYDAY .......... sometimes multiple times a day ............... prices can go up and down multiple times a day
I might be wrong, but I believe Google Flights uses the same software as ITA and allows you to book your flights with one click....
It also lets you enter a range of days and quickly adjust the routes/prices depending on what you want.
If anyone is traveling near the end of the year, it can be worth it to pick up an entertainment book( they go as low as $6 and there is also fatwallet(a deal site) cash back), as hotwire and other travel sites do $10-20 rebates.
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.
