What is the cheapest airline and day to travel from New York to San Jose Int'l Airport,California ?

Question

What website do you check for the cheapest ticket?

Are there ticket bidding sites?

Answer 1

I go to http://www.flybymetravel.com because all of their prices are front loaded with taxes and fees wich means that there are no suprises at the end.

Answer 2

I always check Priceline for the cheapest ticket and compare it to other Airline websites to see how much of a deal I'm getting, if any.  On any given day one airline can be cheaper than the other and visa versa on a different day.  You can try travelling to or departing from on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, also try different months but it's worth it to do the research.  Priceline does have a bidding section.

Hope that helps and answers your questions.

Answer 3

Have you checked Hotwire for the cheapest airline from New York to San Jose? do you need a round-trip?  

My tip would be to consider also SFO, San Francisco Airport as an option to arrive in, if you are not able to find a flight into San Jose.  San Jose is a much smaller airport, and if you can select 2 airports you will increase your chances.  Check with Super Shuttle for a ride between airports if you select this option - super easy to transfer, only about an hour apart.  Good luck!
