Airfare deals are what anyone can benefit from once in a while, no matter your destination, be it Alaska, Zimbabwe, or anywhere in between. These beauties are not something to snub when they are available or offered to us, because we can save a lot of money from this, especially in this era of rising aviation and consequently air transport costs.

So it is important for people to look for the best deals on airfare unless folks who are wealthy and would not like to undergo the stress that is sometimes associated with them. For sometime, especially after the 911 incidents, it is very easy to take cheap air fare for granted. Agreed that almost every one was paranoid about security and thus not many people wanted to fly, a situation that resulted in the airlines flooding every where with awesome airfare deals. This is akin to begging people to fly, something that is far from being a joke.

But the reality at the moment is that in the U.S. with its bloated war chest and an almost comatose economy, getting airfare deals is considered as more important than ever. This is because not many people can afford to pay the standard ticket prices, and this is what many websites like expedia and kayak on the internet have capitalized on by offering great airfare deals. But you must know that these websites on their own are not enough to get you the best airfare deals.

In reality, most of them mark up their fees, though there is no doubting the fact that they will get you cheaper prices, but this would still be as much as $50 more than when you buy from the airlines. This however, might not always be the case, but the best way to get great airfare deals is check the main commercial websites which compare airline rates.

This scenario look much more lenient than it sounds like. In practice you do not have to search through all the airlines for airfare deals. For instance I am resident in Oakland, California, and commutes regularly to Portland, Oregon, to visit my sweetheart. Going through the internet for airfares, I found out that only two airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Alaska Airlines, really offer attractive prices on my route.

What this means is I can forget the routine check I used to carry out on airlines like United Air and Northwest ensure that I am getting the best airfare deals on flights to my route. Now, all I do is check one or two of the search engines, before going to the sites of the airlines. So I only have to go through two, and at most three websites, to get the best airfare deals to Portland.
