Compare Airfares Side by Side

‘‘Site scrapers,’’ such as Farechase.com, Qixo.com, and Sidestep.com, claim to scan vast numbers of Web travel sites to find the best airfares and hotel rates, providing a simple way to compare airfares side by side. Each site has capability to scan different sites, so none is able to access the entire universe. One benefit of accessing these sites is that their searches include fares offered by major discount airlines such as Southwest and JetBlue, which you frequently cannot obtain from Orbitz.com, Expedia.com, or Travelocity.com. If you see an attractive fare, you simply click on a link that takes you directly to the reservations site offering the fare.
However, prices are not necessarily the lowest possible, and their technology still has a ways to go to be fast, user friendly, and consistently effective. But give it a try if you have some extra time!
