What sites do you use to find low airfare?

I could research it more, but then I'd be a travel agent

Last year you could fly the same route for 350.00 all-in...

BTW, I did see this....check into it if you are flexible about airline...


Fare Rules

Pat I couldn't find this fare anywhere! I'd love to fly something associated with UA or AA but at that price I didn't care and would have bought the tickets today. I even switched it to TU/SA as that flight is only on TU or SA but nothing.

I appreciate your thoughts on the fare. I was thinking that at that time I should be able to snag $400RT with the taxes and I'll gamble for a while longer.

Hope I'm wrong but I think that's a gamble you're gonna lose. Fuel surcharges and governemental fees are such a big part of international fares that the base fare is ridiculously low in many cases even now. Kinda like gas and cigarettes in that most of the price these days is taxes/fees.

Regarding the KU fare, I'll show what I can easily see:
