I'm a big fan of skyauction.com, but I find that their best deals tend to be for international. I bought a round trip ticket to Australia for over the Christmas holidays (peak season, since its so warm there!) and got it for like $750 when other websites were quoting me $2000 and more.

My brother told me about a site called, www.studentuniverse.com . Apparently if you are a student or faculty they have discounted travel tickets there. I haven't done much snooping but thought I would pass it on to everyone.

Thank you. Was nothing at all.
Most, if not all airports have web sites now.
Just plug in their name into any search engine.

I know it sucks that Southwest doesn't service the Atlanta area, but if you have to fly into smaller cities in the Northeast, Airtran is WAY cheaper than Delta. I'm a huge fan of Airtran and usually have better luck booking straight from the website than the so-called "discount" sites like cheaptickets.com and the like.

Not sure yet. My friend just bought a house in Durango-she just up and moved there from Austin because it was so beautiful. I wonder how it will be in winter though...I will not be visiting then  .

Winter can be tough in terms of travel, etc. But it is still beautiful. Mountain people figure out how to deal with it.
If she can't live with the snow, etc. watch for her back in Austin in a year or two.

I've been booking flights lately and like every else has stated, you will usually find the best deals on the actual airline sites themselves.
In my case I had to book a flight from Vancouver to Vegas, Vegas to LA, and then LA back to Vancouver. For the latter I'm using points, but for the first two flights I searched around for deals. On Travelocity & Expedia it was going to cost around $120 to get from Vegas to LA - checked out SW Airlines, and they had an internet special for $49. Same with my flight down to Vegas. Expedia and Travelocity were coming up with $200 a ticket, so I checked out West Jet - they have flights to Vegas for $99.

Sort of. Telluride is kind of in a box canyon off the "beaten path," while Durango is on the main highway from the Four Corners area toward Denver. And, of course, Telluride is a fairly major ski area. I can't remember how far apart they are, but are in the same general area.

I use Kayak.com and then go to the airline site, it really depends if kayak or the airline will be cheaper...its a toss up.
I prefer United and Southwest
