best way to book airfare

[momoftwogirls]

We usually drive to WDW from the Washington D.C. area. We are now planning a sort of last minute trip - 4 weeks away - and have decided to fly. What's the best way to book airfare? where can I find the best prices? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

DW and I actually found a great rate in some junk e-mail, believe it or not, through Orbitz. Air fare to and from Richmond (RIC) is unbelievably high, but we got two round-trip tickets to Orlando in September for $210.00.

Check different sites -- Orbitz, Travelocity, the different airlines sites. You might need to keep a couple of different browser windows open at once so you can compare. And check ALL airports within a reasonable drive. I don't know where in the DC area you are, but check all three airports up there and compare.

The best I can find so far is $210 pp round trip on Delta . Is this reasonable? We're going the last week in August. Should I wait and keep looking - will fares go up or do you think I can find a better deal?

If you are willing to fly out of BWI you can get great rates at Southwest. DD and I are flying out of there in Sept for $96 plus tax total of $233. Goog luck

I have been searching for months for a flight from Lex to Mco and after checking all the different sites (travelocity, orbitz, expedia, side step etc etc), the cheapest flight is still on delta's site. I use delta due to the flight times, they are much better for me than any other airline. The price I am finding is not great but it's that or drive 2 hrs to a different airport.
