The 5 Best Airfare Sites

Latest Update November 11, 2015

KAYAK earns a place on this list for being one of the best airline comparison sites in the industry. Their detailed search tools give you the opportunity to focus your search on just those results that fit your criteria. You're able to choose specific travel days and times and even your cabin class. If you can afford to be flexible with your travel plans, KAYAK can be an even bigger help. Search flexible dates and add nearby airports to increase your chances of finding an affordable rate. Because KAYAK is a travel search engine, all the results you see on their website are pulled from other travel sites, so you'll have to go to the site you end up choosing to complete the booking process. Remember, this still saves you time because you don't need to run searches on every single travel site. If you want, though, you do have the option to compare rates to those offered by other companies by selecting companies to compare when you run your search. These results will open in separate windows. Once you've booked your flight, you can track its status, look up baggage fees, and get access to airport maps via KAYAK's website or their mobile app.
