AIRFARE
While you're surfing the Web for bargains, check individual airline sites for private sales. If you purchase your airline ticket directly through an airline website, Yapta.com will alert you if the price drops -- and even provide specific instructions on how to get a refund. Depending on the airline, you may be issued a credit for the difference or a voucher for future travel. For a $15 fee, Yapta will even call the airline and get the refund for you.
On all websites, check prices early in the morning or on weekends when short-term sales often occur. With Farecast.com, you can even predict the best moment to buy a ticket. The site uses historic pricing data to anticipate the likelihood of fare fluctuations during a given week.
Sign up for e-mail newsletters from the airlines you fly most frequently; many are releasing sales that last only a few hours or days. Travelocity, an online agency, and American Airlines are among the sites that allow you to sign up for ''deal finder'' alerts when the fare drops on your favorite routes.
$avings potential: $50 per ticket, sometimes as much as $200-$300.
A new site which we like is called Kayak.com. They search hundreds of sites and there is no booking fee.
