Aug 19th, 2009 at 1:00PM: If you've been putting off the purchase of tickets to the EU recently, now is your time to strike. Airline search engine Vayama.com is offering $30 off any flight between the two continents today, softening the blow of the season's expensive fares. Checking a sample itinerary between Kayak and Vayama from Detroit to Stockholm, the Gadling Labs are pulling up fares of $690 and $713 respectively. ...Online bookings just got cheaper!
Jun 2nd, 2009 at 4:00PM: Online travel deals just got better. Even though airlines are tacking on extra fees, fares have been plunging for a while now, so it still cuts in favor of travelers. Travel websites have started to get in on the savings, too. Several sites are ditching their booking fees - at least temporarily.
Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia announced yesterday that they are waiving their booking fees. For ...Budget Travel: StudentUniverse.com
Feb 13th, 2009 at 11:30AM: Do students know how good they have it? Discounted travel, I mean. They even have their own discount student travel agencies that book travel that's cheaper and tailored to their needs, which anybody older than 26 years-old couldn't cash in on. When I was a student, I tapped into STA Travel, which is still going strong with those spring, summer, and winter break deals. But it's only recently that ...Talking travel with the CEO of Kayak.com
Aug 4th, 2008 at 9:00AM: Kayak is one of our favorite companies to write about. The leading airfare metacrawler processes some 40 million travel requests per month, making it one of the most popular travel sites out there. TIME Magazine has called it one of the "50 Coolest Websites" and the "Best Search Aid" by Travel + Leisure Magazine. Instead of random musings this time, we've got Steve Hafner on the line. He's the ...Orbitz launches My Ideal Beach travel website
Mar 19th, 2008 at 8:40AM: One of the most popular questions I usually see out on the travel forums comes from first-time travelers who are looking to leave town for a "once in a lifetime" trip with their significant other. The typical question sounds something like this: "I WANT TO GET AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS FOR MY HONEYMOON. CAN YOU RECOMMEND A NICE PLACE TO STAY? IT HAS TO BE ALL INCLUSIVE AND VERY ROMANTIC. THANKS IN ...JetBlue turns to travel websites for booking
Nov 26th, 2007 at 6:30PM: In the past, JetBlue sold most of its tickets through its website. But last year, the budget airline listed its fares on "global" distribution systems, which mainly serve travel agents. Now, JetBlue has gone all the way online; it started selling tickets on travel websites like Orbitz, Expedia, and Priceline. The company explains that with rising fuel costs and a slower economy, it needs to ...Booking a Flight from New York to San Francisco Online. But Where Online?
Aug 9th, 2007 at 2:03PM: I used to be a big fan of buying tickets on travel websites such as Expedia.com, Travelocity.com, Orbitz.com but lately, I found that it is often cheaper to buy them directly through the airlines's websites. Have we come a full circle?
I picked a random date--a long weekend Sept.13-17 from New York to San Francisco--to see what rates would come back.
A sample of a few direct flights:

Apr 7th, 2006 at 10:13AM: Well here's a rather bizarre story about Orbitz, one of the third-largest online travel agencies and Italian airline Alitalia. Apparently the airline accidentally listed a business-class flight from Toronto to Cyprus at $39 US on a central reservation system which then feeds flight information to online booking agencies. CNEWS notes the incorrect round-trip airfare from Toronto to Cyprus with a ...
