Travel Search Engines on Steroids
Are you still using travel sites like Expedia , Travelocity or Orbitz to look for travel deals? According to an article in Money magazine, it's time you stepped up to Kayak , Mobissimo , or SideStep . These sites search a wider array of travel sites, giving you access to more deals with fewer clicks. You won't be able to purchase your tickets from these sites, but they'll link you to the right place after you find the best deal.
Matt's View
I ran several tests looking for the best round-trip non-stop airfare between Chicago and two U.S. destinations and one overseas destination. I found the best deals on Kayak and Mobissimo, although the savings were minimal--from $4 to $10 less than the best deals found on Expedia, Travelocity, or Orbitz. But with so many variables involved in travel, Kayak, Mobissimo, and SideStep can be helpful tools to have in our travel toolkit. Just know that scoring the best deal is still likely to require a little mousing around.
