Cheap Airfare
The Matrix – Nope, not about the red pill / blue pill but if your travel is flexible will show you the cheapest flights around for your destination. It’s pretty much the best tool out there.
Airfare Watchdog – Follow these guys on twitter too as they post crazy flight deals that they find throughout the day.
Kayak – beloved Kayak. Still our first go-to for a quick browse on what to expect.
Flight Fox – Never used it but it’s a pay for service to take the legwork out of the above. Would love to know your thoughts if you’ve used it!
And finally, a really great article on how to get the cheapest airfare possible or “hacker” fare.
