What time is best to search for cheap flight tickets?

Question

I have a couple of months to my flight. I know that it's best to search when you're within 2-3 months however this one flight I want for roundtrip tickets still delivers shaky ticket prices on the internet. One day it's about $50 cheaper than the last and for some reason it's gotten steady at remaining more expensive than it once was when it hasn't even sold out.

Can someone please help me with tips or a link on when and where to search these engines like Kayak or Orbitz for the cheapest price?

Going from California to Florida in the winter. Thanks

Answer 1

I always shop at expedia.com for flights, hotels, car rentals, etc.  They usually have the best deals around.  They've never let me down so far.

Very easy!

Use any of the following sites and set-up "fare alerts" that will deliver daily (or weekly) the best fare available!

i think its hot tickets.com but that one only gives you last minute good prices....like for airlines that didnt sell out....so it only does one week to the next day tickets!
