Cheap Airfare - and how to find it faster!

Have you spent hours online, setting up airfare deal alerts, and entering search information in online booking engines, only to find out that the airline with the best airfare price doesn't even have flights to the destination airport you need?  Sure, you can call your local travel agent and have them research flights for you, but it's 9 p.m. on Saturday, and you want to check the prices now.


Here's the solution:  To find out what low-cost carriers fly between any two given cities, check out AirNinja. They let you enter your starting airport, and show which low-cost airlines have departures from that airport and where they go, complete with links out to the airline's own site for booking.  If you prefer, you can enter a departure AND arrival airport.


My favorite part?  It's free!
