Travel
Who needs a travel agent when you've got the Internet? Now, thanks to dozens of great Websites, you can plan and book your own vacations. And best of all, it's easier than ever! With a few quick clicks, you can find tons of information about your destination, book your flight, arrange for a rental car, make hotel reservations and get some great deals too.
Travelocity.com
Not only does Travelocity chase down the lowest prices for you (whether it's airfare, rental cars or hotels) and let you make reservations online, but you can also find daily fare finder deals, instant flight/gate information, weather reports, maps and message boards. Not to mention vacation deals, cruise packages and fare watcher e-mail updates which notify you when selected flights drop in price significantly. A great resource!
Expedia.com
Whether it's playing a few rounds of golf at Myrtle Beach or catching some rays on Hawaii's west coast, Expedia can help you book your next exciting vacation. With hundreds of destination suggestions for golfers, adventurers or sunbathers, you're bound to find the perfect getaway spot. With nice additions like news updates, weather reports, daily deals and flight information, this site's a great starting place to pick your next vacation.
Orbitz
Save big on flights, hotels, cars, cruises and even vacation packages. Plus, Orbitz has some great extras that add a true personal touch. Quickly check any flight status, view last-minute getaways, and be completely prepared with the Traveler Care section. Customer service info and phone numbers are readily available. Orbitz was developed by leading airlines including Delta, American, United, and Continental.
SideStep
Talk about convenient! Download a simple file from SideStep, and your Internet Browser becomes an instant Flight/Car/Hotel Reservation search engine. Simple to navigate, users can search by a number of location criteria (including landmark, airport or address), sort by a number of items (price, airlines, stopovers, etc.) and even create a personalized page for easy searching in the future. SideStep's search box opens on the left side of your browser, leaving the main window free for you to surf the Web at the same time you make your travel reservations. Truly an innovative tool for any traveler.
Hotwire
Whether it's hotels, airfare or rental cars, you can get some amazing rates...if you're flexible. You won't see an airline's name or exact flight time until after you've agreed to the price. Same deal for hotels -- the name and street address aren't revealed until you've made your purchase. (Though you can select a general city area.)
Priceline.com
Yep, it's the "Name Your Own Price" site William Shatner was always talking about. And for good reason: you can save some serious cash on airline tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars and more. The downsides? You can't choose details like exact flight times or specific airlines. Plus, once your offer's accepted, your credit card is automatically billed and you can't change your mind. However, priceline.com does let you select details such as the hotel quality level and whether you're willing to fly outside of peak hours. If you're pretty flexible about your travel, definitely give priceline a shot.
