Lowestfare.com: How Low Can You Go???

STAR RATING:




In December of 1999, I convinced my husband that we needed one last vacation alone without the kids (no way could we leave 3 kids with anyone, 2 was bad enough!) I began checking around on the Internet at the various travel sites. I tried Expedia, Travelocity, and CheapestSeats. None of them offered me a better deal that LowestFare.

It was so easy to shop here. On the first screen I came to, I simply keyed in our travel dates, MCO (Orlando) as our destination, and NYC as where we were traveling from. This gave me a wide variety of airfares from all of the metropolitan New York airports. I finally got an airfare of $160 each round trip on TWA out of Kennedy Airport. I was pleased because the New York-Orlando route is a very heavily traveled one and it can be hard to find discounted airfares.

This was my first time ever using an e-ticket, and I was nervous about getting to the airport and finding nothing waiting for me, but everything was fine.

This December, I wanted to join a group of friends in Orlando accompanied by my daughter. Once again, I did not limit myself to just this site, but priced out the other travel sites as well. Since I started looking in September, I had more time to look for low airfares. After a few weeks, all the airlines seemed to briefly drop their prices. Nowhere were the prices as cheap as on this site. I snagged two round-trip tickets for $290 on Metrojet our of LaGuardia Airport.
