Winter chill got you down? Obsessing over TPS reports during Sunday brunch? The city that never sleeps can be great, but if you’re taking the mantra literally lately, it could be time for a long weekend outside the center of the universe. Sure, a first class ticket to Ibiza would be great, but for those of us living in the real world, vacation doesn’t have to mean reliving your childhood road trip to the biggest ball of twine on State Route 30. Thanks to some creative internet companies like Kayak and Farecast, a Bahamavention could be closer than you think.
Culling fares from over one hundred travel sites, Kayak is the most comprehensive tool we’ve found that will help you score a deal on airfare. What sets Kayak apart from the rest of the crowd is its remarkable search toolset that lets you see the 20 cheapest destinations out of a particular airport, put together custom multi-city tours, and even let the site figure out what days you should book your trip to get the cheapest fares!
If you’re trying to rack up miles with a particular airline, fear not, you can force the site to only display fares from a particular set of companies and even set how many stopovers you’re willing to accept. Because Kayak just links you to the best deal and doesn’t sell the tickets directly, no annoying registration is required to take advantage of the services. But, if you do choose to register, you can have email notifications sent to you when a fare drops to a certain level. The site has similar tools if you’re looking for hotels as well.
