Travel Tools: Kayak.com

Why do I use Kayak.com when planning trips? Kayak is simply the best travel site for planning trips. No contest. It's the best search engine for finding flights when your dates are flexible. While Kayak has always allowed easy trip planning for flight flexibility within a week of your desired travel, they recently upgraded to a new style that also lets you search weekends near your trip dates and an entire month around your trip dates.

When using these features, Kayak generates a unique, easy to read chart detailing the prices of your tickets based on possible departure and return dates. While other travel sites have similar "flexible searches," most do not offer results in an easy to read format or they require additional user interactions to find the actual prices (Expendia.com >:-0 ). If you desire to search other travel sites for tickets, Kayak allows you to simultaneously search Priceline, Expedia, Travelocity, CheapOair, and Vayama without entering any more information. In addition to all this, Kayak saves previous searches for later, and remembers your home airport. 

Kayak, saves you money on tickets, while saving you time on searching.
