I hate fare watching...

[BabyTigger99]

Every single day. I am getting sick of it. I just want to find something that works, and be done with it!!!! GRRRRR!!!!!

Have you tried using yapta.com? It saves a lot of time. They watch your flights and notify you of fare changes. I'm using it to see if my fare goes down for my June trip.

I had great luck with Farecast.com last year. They tell you if you should buy now or wait. I saved about $400 a ticket by listening!!

I have been going on kayak.com daily, to see what is out there.

Does that work for any airline? I just bought our tickets on Delta, but if the fare goes down, I'd be happy. I told myself when I found round-trip for less than $200, I'd buy it. I kept debating waiting for the Southwest fares, but with 7 of us, I figured I should get the first reasonable price I found.

I used to do that. Then somebody suggested yapta - they watch for you. You enter the flights you're interested in and they will notify you via e-mail when there's a fare change. It beats looking everyday yourself.

Yes, they track most airline flights. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to monitor different flights all in one place. I bought my tickets in Dec. and watched the price per ticket increase $75 since then.

I usually set a date/time to handle my flights, I look around at the main carriers I often fly and choose the best time/price combo that works for me, with times being marginally more important then price.

I'm trying to find something reasonable for DH and I, and it's such a pain. I tend to obsess about this stuff and drive myself nuts . I should be working, but I keep looking at air fares and car rentals. When I find something I think is good, I run it by DH, and he's not ready to 'commit'.

This happened just a little while ago, so now? He has to find the best rates .....

I use yapta.com also. It works pretty good tracking my current flights and my watching flights. Since I fly Jetblue they offer a credit if the flight price drops, so I've saved over $200 this month on price changes. We have several August flights that we are watching too. SW does not participate (but I wish they did). Before this I used expedia to check flights.

does any of them work for sw airlines/??

been there!! What size is your family? Try looking into only 1 or 2 passengers when looking for flights, the prices are definitely cheaper........ book the first 2 and then book the next and so on until you have the number of tickets you need......... worked great for me......
