What website do you guys use to book flights while traveling within the US? and any preferred airlines?

Thanks.

Re: website

i usually go to www.Kayak.com to look up which airline is offering the lowest fare then buy the ticket either directly from the aireline or from the more reputed vendors like **Upgrade Browser, Upgrade Browser **or Priceline.com - The Best Deals on Hotels, Flights and Rental Cars.

in order to get the lowest fare, you should try different dates and also from/to nearby airports.

Other than that keep checking groupon/social living etc and look for travel section. Sometimes they have got good deals. Especially handy if you are looking for a gateway

Besides the flights, there are certain tips/tricks that you can use to get low fares.

look for the flights in incognito mode or clear your browser history before doing it. The more you search for the flight, the higher the prices will get.
Sometimes landing at the desired destination is kind a expensive, try adding some random destination (thats what skiplagged do, it was getting sued 7 months ago, read his owner AMA at reddit Reddit - The heart of the internet) … So what i mean, that you can do yourself and you don’t have to rely on a third party app
Another tip that you can try is use a VPN and make your ip originating from some third world country … It has helped me a lot.

Re: website

think yourself as a marketing manager. You know that you have one customer who earns in $$ and he has ability to spend $100. so even if you show him a thing which costs around $110, he might argue but at the end of the day he will spend those extra $10 .

For someone who is from a third world country, buying anything in $$ is going to be way more expensive let alone breaking their budget and going a step ahead from the original price. so normally these websites tend to show the price a little less .. say $100 ticket might be shown as $85 or so ...

But you have to do all this incognito mode. No cookies etc. Remember your browser has a unique signature which can uniquely identify you over the internet.

which vpn provider can I sign up in Namibia?

PS: Wonder if a web proxy works.
