Online Travel Sites

Online travel sites deserve at least one visit if you are going to evaluate them fairly to find the best ones.

The travel giant Bing and the upstart Dohop (Book cheap flights and low cost connections )  did better than most other sites.

On these two sites I could hit Buy on a round trip to London at $771; not every one of the others though, if I had hit the Buy link, I would have taken a hit for more cash.

There is another travel booking site called cFares that’s picqued my fancy recently.

The first and the most intriguing part to this travel site is the fact that they try to keep the rif-raff out by making you pony up the cash for a $50-a-year membership before they let you do anything on it.

I could tell you more but the truth is – you need to do  a few searches and visit the online travel sites yourself to find out which ones are best for you!

So the moral of the story is, travel sites for low fares, as great as they are, are not perfect. They don’t all win all of the time. The best I know how to snag cheap flights now is to take the advice of Dohop and cFares, and always pick Thursdays and Wednesdays to fly – lots of fares are predictably cheaper these two days of the week.

As it happens, there is.It is called TripKick and it’s a really neat idea; it has an alarming amount of information on which particular rooms in a hotel of your choice have a bigger bathroom, a better view, and so on. For my London trip, told me to take room number 218 at a hotel on Oxford Circus, for a great view out on a park. The only problem with TripKick though, is that it only covers expensive hotels, and not the budget ones.
