Caught the travel bug but short on cash? Fret no more as you can get a real deal if you know where to look for cheap airfare deals.

You can still consult with a travel agent of course, but your best bet is at the tips of your fingers. The internet is swarming with travel sites that offer great airfare deals, as well as hotel and resort accommodations, all inclusive deals, and cruise/air specials. You can start by checking out Kayak.com by using the online booking form on the left for some really great airfare deals. Many times air fare deals with certain airlines are only posted online. If you can be flexible on travel and flight times and dates, then by all means check out Priceline where you can get awesome cheap air fare deals to most any destination.

If you are in Asia, check out Zuji which has a wide range of options to many exotic Asian destinations at great prices.

Sometimes travel is totally dependent on getting just the right air fare deal, which many times is dependent on the time of travel, especially if it is during a holiday or on short notice, etc. If you have to travel at the last minute it is still possible to get reasonable air fare deals; not all seats are filled on all flights, and if traveling alone or with another adult, chances are greater that there will be open seats still available, they may just not be next to each other. You really must be flexible and not restrict yourself to certain dates and times if you really want a good air fare deal. Last minute specials offered for online bookings are great if you can book immediately or travel at a moment's notice. The greater you are able to compromise on your date of travel the greater your savings and the better the airline discount ticket deals.

Latest News on Airfare Deals:

Just as meteorologists try to predict the weather, several PhDs at Farecast are attempting to predict airline prices. Farecast looks at pricing, scheduling, and availability to give travelers an idea of when to book to get the best price. For each flight search, Farecast displays whether it believes prices will rise or fall over the next 7 days, how much of a rise or fall in prices is expected, and a confidence level associated with the prediction.

Farecast has developed the latest travel search engine (similar to Kayak, Mobissimo, Sidestep and Farechase). With each search, all flight options are displayed on the search results page with links to book direct at airline websites as well as Orbitz.

Another great feature is the 'Flexible Search' path (it's an alternative choice to 'Quick Search' on the homepage) which is perfect for travelers with more flexible schedules as it allows the user to compare the lowest prices for flights over a 30 day period. Finally, there's a 'heat grid' which lets travelers view yesterday's lowest prices by departure date and length of travel, providing further information to figure out the best price and dates for a trip.
