Best place to find discounted airline tickets?

We're trying to find tickets for dh's mom to fly up and see us, and the price has jumped quite a bit in the past week or two. Where is the best place online to find a good deal? We've checked priceline, expedia, cheap tickets, ummm ...a couple more I can't think of.

TIA.

I used Orbitz for my DH's trip to CA and got a good deal. ($307 round trip March 4-8th with decent departure/arrivals times and only one layover each way.)

HTH-

I usually get mine from www.orbitz.com, but for our trip to the Keys in April I did better contacting the airlines directly. We ended up with tickets from www.flysong.com, a subsidiary of Delta, but www.americanairlines.com had better deals than orbitz & travelocity as well.

Yeah, I second checking the airlines themselves. The last few times I bought tickets, I actually found significantly cheaper tickets at the airlines themselves than on any online dealer. By significantly, I mean hundreds less for overseas tickets, and at least half off for domestic!

Hey Amber,
I always go through www.travelocity.com and have gotten great deals. I would check us airways b/c we've gotten tickets off their site for good deals too.
good luck
