Cheap Flights - Compare Airline Tickets with Skyscanner.com. 5 Little-Known Websites That Will Save You Time and Money When Booking Airfare Online. This article is by staff writer Adam Baker. Baker recently reflected on just how much money affects our internal values. When booking airfare online, most people think of the popular online aggregation sites. You know the ones: They have the fancy commercials, catchy jingles, and washed-up celebrity pitchmen.

While those sites aren’t inherently bad, there are a few well-documented problems with relying solely on these larger engines: Many of the aggregation sites neglect to include smaller, budget carriers.Larger airline companies may temporarily exclude or intentionally block these aggregation sites from fares.Short-term specials or incentive sales aren’t usually aggregated either. Obviously, there isn’t just one website capable of giving you the best deal every time. Many larger carriers make a significant amount of money off of the loyalty factor — meaning those individuals and companies who choose to fly the same airline every time for whatever reason.

They found the replacement model (more expensive) and credited my account - all while I was on the phone. When I tagged a snow bank in my drive in a rental car (they plowed while I was out - oops) they not only took care of it, they sent the rental agency a letter telling them not to contact me (with a vaguely cryptic "or else"). As a retailer myself, I make a point of not taking AMEX because they take a whopping 7-8% right off the top of every single sale I make. I'll give you the points, er, point.
