How to Find Cheap Tickets on the Internet

Ah, I'm dreaming of that relaxing vacation, but cash and time are tight. Where to start. Here, thats where. Who needs a travel agent, these days if you have a computer, and high speed internet helps alot, everything you need is right at your fingertips. There are several types of online travel booking sites. I,ll start with Hotwire.com since it's a little different than the others. With hotwire you decide what your looking for, airfare, hotel, car rental, ect..., fill in your dates and the class, for example, type of car or hotel # of stars, then hit search, it will give you a price, however the catch is untill you accept the offer, you don't get to know what company will be providing your travel arraingements. In other words, you don't get to pick the airline, hotel chain, or car rental agency. I like to check first with Hotwire, then check some of the others, if I don't care about the companies, and after checking, hotwire was lower, I,ll choose Hotwire. Now I,ll give you some links to some of the other general travel booking sites.

If your flexable with your travel plans, in other words, you can go anytime you like, and are not on a specific schedual. Then you may be able to save money using these last minute deal type sites. You must be able to leave right away though.

These are called aggregator travel sites, and they work like a search engine, and combine data on cheap flights from sources including airline sites and other travel booking sites such as Orbitz, among others.

Looking for a cheap cruise, try two of my favorites, listed below. I like to cruise out of Galveston to save on airfare, its only a four or five hour drive from Arlington, and you can see some beautiful wildflowers on the drive down during the spring. $500.00 all inclusive weeklong cruises are a dime a dozen.
