My recent booking with Expedia went very well. The site has been very good for many years, and offers good deals for travel. The deal rates are comparable with other sites, but I found a distinct advantage while booking my flights this time. Many other websites posted flights that were similar, and some even cheaper, than Expedia, however, Expedia had better choices. The choices in departure dates and times were good in all websites, but the return flights were horrendous. With Expedia, I was finally able to get return flights that catered to my needs.
This website also had some great deals on near-airport parking. I was able to package this in with the booking of my flights.
Overall, my experience with them was very good. There are some good deals, but my suggestion is to always shop around, but make sure you shop here, too.

Orbitz
As travel websites go, Orbitz is a well designed site and offers competitive deals. It's very easy to change your flight searches if you would like to see a range of dates. The site even has very good recommendations for vacation packages. Take a look at the links under their Explore Destinations and Interests. I found some romantic getaways that I would love to take my fiancee on.
The only problems I have ever had dealing with Orbitz has been seating arrangements on flights. The website appeared to have some bugs in it because it did not let me reserve my desired seats even though the seats were open. It has been a couple years since this has happened so do not expect it to be a problem for you. One other thing to be careful of is to make sure you look at the full price (including taxes and fees) before you book your flight. The base price is bolded while the taxes and fees are not.

Travelocity and Yahoo! Travel
Travelocity and Yahoo! Travel are both very good websites, but the search results virtually identical. It appears that they share the same service for booking travel.
Both services are reliable, and generally have some of the lowest fares. However, they do not always have the lowest fares, so shop around. It's worthwhile to use Yahoo!'s FareChase because it searches other websites for you. The last time I used this the cheapest flight found was on CheapTickets.com .
Between Travelocity and Yahoo! Travel, my personal preference is to use Yahoo! Travel. The advertisements located there are less annoying and less controversial than on Travelocity. However, if you have a coupon code for one site and not the other, then it might be worthwhile to switch. Also, be sure to check out the deals. It definitely is worth a look.

Air travel web sites
The biggest thing to know is that all air travel web sites do not have the same prices even if the flights are the same. There are many good air travel web sites, but do not be loyal to only one. I have used many different websites, and all the prices have been different. The service provided by each has been pretty good.
In the following weeks, I'll provide my opinions of different web sites. Just remember to always shop around before choosing which site to book your flight with.
