Kristy: Favorite Travel Sites

Those who know me know I love to find a travel bargain. I’ve been asked many times what sites I use, and I have to admit that there are a lot of them. Different sites have different bargains, and I usually check them all.

I’ve included many of these sites here in this comprehensive list:

Flights:
Airfarewatchdog.com - an airfare compiler that posts both advertised and unadvertised flights and notifies you of travel deals. You can also sign up for emails about flights from your preferred airport or flights from one airport to another. They’ve also created this handy travel engine comparison chart: http://www.airfarewatchdog.com/blog/4771853/chart-how-airfare-alert-sites-compare/?source=facebook

http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch - I love this site too. It’s a great way to find the best prices for certain flights. If it asks, you can just log in as a guest.

http://www.seatcounter.com/ - helps you figure out how many seats are left in a flight class
