Beyond providing information on destinations and a convenient way to book, some travel websites are offering more innovative ways to help you plan the best trip or score the best deal. The sites offer all sorts of useful information such as free email alerts on changing fares, advice on which day to purchase your ticket and how to make the best seat selection. While some of these websites are geared for U.S.-based travellers, Canadians will no doubt find them useful as well. These websites predict travel fares, help you plan the best trip, find the best deals and even tell you which seat to select. Farecompare.com
