    Where can you find and compare the best and lowest pricing for airfare, hotels and car rentals? Without having to wait for special deals (i.e. Dan’s Deals, etc.), if you have specific travel dates and places and want to find the least expensive airfare and hotel and car rates, where would you turn to find the absolutely lowest prices?

    There are dozens of online travel agents (Travelocity, Expedia, Priceline, etc.); do they all display the same listings with the same pricing? Do certain ones find the best deals? The main goal is the lowest price.

    How’s Skyscanner more comprehensive than other travel sites?

    Google comprehensively summarizes the lowest cost fares?

    I use several apps for finding the best deal. Besides Skyscanner (which I find often has wrong prices but is nonetheless useful), I use Hipmunk, Kayak, and OnTheFly. Each of them has their pros and cons. Consider being flexible. For example, right now there are good deals on flights from Boston to Tel Aviv. If you’re in the NYC area, it’s relatively easy and cheap to get to Boston especially since Logan Airport is easily accessible by subway. There’s also hidden city ticketing. We recently booked JFK-TLV-BOS. The return trip was TLV-EWR-BOS, and since we live in the NYC area, we simply got off at EWR and went home. This saved us a considerable sum. We’ve done similar stuff with flights from DC to Israel.
