My mom is planning to travel to be with me after my surgery. I wondered if any of you had any recommendations regarding who offered the best prices? THANKS!

I like to use Kayak.com to search for airfares. I've bought a few tickets through them and they pretty consistently found the lowest fares.

Hi Missy, I travel fairly frequently and even with all the comparing of different sites, I have consistantly found the best prices for my destinations at expedia, hope she gets a good deal, and best of luck to you!!

Southwest or Air Tran. Depends on where you live and where your headed.

One more suggestion Hotwire .com. We needed to get tickets from Austin Baltimore for a funeral a couple of weeks ago and tired several of the different discount websites, like Priceline and Expedia and they were running about $430 for roudn trip. We got one on Hotwire for $244.

My suggestion would be to try a few different sites, INCLUDING the airline websites. Travel agents are also able to look up lowest fares with a few keyboard strokes. (Then if anything goes wrong you're not left fending for yourself with the airline, they can help you too.)
