Not a stealth marketing thread, honest!

Which is the best for discount airfares - travelocity or orbitz? Or should I just do as my local news reporter recommended and go directly through the airline?

I have to book a flight for convention and don't laugh at me, but this is the first time I've ever had to do that by myself (i.e. without a travel agent). The flight times are stinko enough without having to pay out the yin-yang for it.

Also, will things get cheaper as the time gets closer, or should I do it now? (This is for July 21.)
