Best websites for booking flights
TripWatcher.com, Pintrips.com, and more
TripWatcher.com sends alerts for airfare changes on routes you choose. An offshoot of the popular booking site Hotwire.com, it gives you the lowest rates in real-time via e-mail, Twitter, or Facebook.
Pintrips.com “acts like a digital bulletin board” by letting users compare flights from multiple sources. Instead of opening multiple browser tabs for Orbitz.com, Delta.com, etc., view all fares on one page.
Routehappy.com targets those interested in more than just price. You can search flights based on details like the age of the plane, Wi-Fi availability, legroom, and in-flight entertainment options.
