Actually Kayak is a pain to use, it is not search once and find them all you enter the information once but then every single search site pops up and you have to go site to site. Haven't used it for awhile so maybe it is changed, but I usually find flights cheaper on either hotwire or cheapo air. Forget priceline too they are always highest.

As far as the person that says take your luggage to the gate and it is checked free. I know a few fliers that have tried,they did do it once or twice but then the airlines caught on. You are billed at the baggage claim area when you try to pick them up.

I just flew from Jackson,WY to San Francisco on Delta with three, larger sized, wheeled carry on bags. The flight was full so they checked them for free at the gate and there was no charge when I picked them up at baggage claim. I didn't have to lug them through the airports and they were happily waiting for me when we landed. The risk here being , your flight may or may not be full so you cant always count on the airline providing that service. I agree that this article is lacking on many levels. Most folks I know need to travel during a certain time frame, ie: an out of state wedding, a big meeting for work, a family vacation where specific reservations and therefore dates have been made in advance, and do not have the luxury of "being flexible" with their travel dates. Also, yeah if you'd like to have ALL the attention from airport security please try to sneak in bottles of alcohol. Really?
