WEB Airline Travel Sites vs Airlines vs Time --COST
I have been looking for good fares from LAX to London for departure in early
June. I frequently search the following web sites for the best fares and got the following: Searched 5pm on 2/12/04 PST Searched 11PM on 2/12/04 PST for LAX - LHR - United Expedia - $536 $660 Orbitz - $534 $651 Qixo - $534 $534 Fare Chaser - $504 NA ITA - NA $997 United - $941 $941 Does anyone know how these sites work? Do they buy seats and resell them at a lower price than the airline web fares? I know fares change, but why do some change and others don't. Searching Travelocity, they did not have any fares less than $940. Are airlines fares such a complex topic that an answer cannot be obtained and should I just keep searching and hope for a good fare to show up? Any advice on how to get the best fare would be appreciated. The fare wars have not started yet since only United has reasonably low fares. Air New Zeland had the same fare at all times at $651. Thanks, Rick |
