In your local paper's Sunday edition travel section, look for small
black and white box ads that only list cities and prices. Those are
discount travel agents called "consolidators", who airlines use to
dump large blocks of unsold seats cheaply, and they normally have the
best fares.

Generally the best fares are when you book at least 3 weeks in
advance, but not more than 3 months in advance, of when you leave.
