Airlines normally charge less for tix when you buy them WAY in advance. It is part of the "price discrimination" part of economics. (For example, if a family books tickets months in advance for a vacation they might pay $100 a ticket, but if a business person NEEDS to go to the same place, but the flight he/she needs is tomorrow, they can charge more, because that person NEEDS to go there tomorrow and it can't wait so he can't just defer business just to get a cheaper airline ticket.)

Anyhow, I would definately try orbitz.com . There was some news story not too long ago saying that Orbitz gets the cheaper offers [if there are any available] from the airlines because they are in business together in some way, shape or form. Hope this helped.
