Finding the cheapest international airfares can be a daunting task, here are some of the best websites to aid in your search to find the best prices for airline tickets:
Airfarewatchdog.com: The customized e-mail fare alerts are ideal for travelers with a specific destination in mind. Just select your departure airports and the city-to-city alerts. You also can set the frequency for receiving alerts — daily, frequently (two to three times a week) or weekly.
Cheapflights.com: Enter your departure airport and destination, and keep the flexible dates box checked to find
st airfare available. You don't set your dates with this method, but you will find rock-bottom low prices and exceptional last-minute deals.
FareCompare.com: The My Trips alert allows you to set up a profile and notifies you via e-mail when a published price changes for your destination city. You can keep your dates flexible, fixed or within a specific time range. Then when a fare comes along that fits your budget, you can book it. The downside is that you can designate only one departure airport in your profile.
Kayak.com: The Buzz link allows you to search for the lowest fares between a specific departure airport and destination city. You can select the date by month or leave it on "anytime" for the most options. It also has a max price choice to search for fares that match your budget. There is no multiple airport search option, so you will have to search each individually.
A few things to keep in mind: The fares you are quoted likely do not include taxes or fees. These vary by airline, so be sure you have the total price when comparing fares.
