New to booking a flight, Can someone give me some tips

[mckinley]

Hi, i am new to the booking my own flight. I have flew before but my aunt always took care of the traveling reservations. Since i have my own family now i just thought i should give it a try.

We live in southern illinois, probably would be better to fly out of st.lous(stl). I personaly don't want to fly but hubby does, but he has never flew & has not a clue what things cost these days. I have looked around and the average price is between $900-$1200 for 2 adults & 1 child to fly to orlando.
We will be traveling June 29-July 6. Anyone got any tips on were to look & what airlines is the best. I have always flew American Airlines.

thanks in advance

If you use a sight called bookingbuddy you only have to put in your info once. then you click on the web sight you want to check, like travelocity, orbitz, cheap tickets ect. and it will transfure your info into those pages and they pop up witht he cheapest airfares for your dates. Don't forget to use the pop down menu and check the airlines you have that arn't listed on there, like soutwest. good luck. Mum of two pirates

Check www.southwest.com I think they flyou out of St. Louis and they will not be listed on any of the booking sites....

I agree with CarolA. Try Southwest. They "flew" out of STL. I have flewed on thems planes alota times!
