2. Lock in your airfare. Kayak.com pulls information from airline websites and smaller databases to give you the most comprehensive list of low fares. It also flags red-eye flights, long layovers, and short connection times. Once you choose your fare, you'll be directed to that airline's site. (Kayak.com doesn't search Southwest Airlines but will redirect you to its site.)

Just be aware that sites like Orbitz will mark up deals and even if prices drop, they will NOT give any type of discount or refund. They advertise different but I am going thorugh this right now where price are half what I purchased them for from Orbitz and I'm stuck with the higher price.

Rarely, if ever, is Kayak less expensive than Orbitz .

As a travel agent, I was happy to see this tip. Don't just use a travel agent for complicated trips though. Sometimes we can beat online sites and sometimes not, but call and see what we can find. We can usually give you unbiased information that the cruise line or hotel might not tell you. Also, not all travel agencies charge a service fee for booking a package. The agencies that do charge will usually waive the fee if you book with them. Don't forget your local travel agencies!
