i had to say it.

so bought tickets to san francisco and BA using farecast and was really happy with them. was pretty sure i wouldn’t be able to afford the last minute tix to california (on thanksgiving weekend no less,) but after a search on their site, playing around with the numbers i realized that i could.

when you’re ready to buy they redirect you to the site of the airline with the deal you want (in my case, jetblue.com & us airways) which is better really, because then you can see even more time options.

they also show you the price history of the tickets you’re trying to buy and make predictions whether you should buy now or wait because the price will drop. (www.yapta.com will guarantee the price won’t drop when they say it won’t and will refund your money if it does.) but i liked using farecast to browse dates/times/prices.
