What is the best website for booking air travel? by Luke Hardly a week goes by when I don’t hear another horror story about flying in the US. Long lines, grumpy crews, flight delays, and overbooked flights are just a few of the issues. But that still doesn’t seem to stop people from flying, and it certainly doesn’t stop them from looking for the absolute cheapest flight they can find. When I’m asked who I book with, I give my usual run around — I say it depends on where you want to fly, which airlines serve those areas, and what level of service you’re looking for.

alaska air for me.
I’m kinda with you. It depends on where you are going, who services the area, your expectations, etc. A friend of mine travels a lot and the lowest price is a priority, so Expedia, Hotwire, etc. is what they tend to use, especially for packages. I don’t travel that often. Price is always a factor, but not nearly as much as with my friend. Chances are I will direct book because I want the flexibility of cancellation, etc. Sometimes when you direct book with a hotel or resort, you’re given more concessions and better treatment than if you booked with a brokerage company. I know this to be true in places like Las Vegas.
I found some of the best deals are from the airline websites themselves, esp as no extra fees are charged
