Finding Really Cheap Plane Tickets by: Steve Gillman The best place to buy really cheap plane tickets is online. Travel agencies can't compete with discount ticket sites. Search Google ('cheap airfare south america', for example), or try the well-known sites, like Expedia, Travelocity, Cheap Tickets, Hotwire or Priceline. Just now I checked fares from Tucson, Arizona to Traverse City, Michigan on the five sites mentioned above. The cheapest quotes ranged from $704 to $432. Nevermind which was cheapest (oh, okay, it was Expedia), because you never know from day to day which sites will find the cheapest flights. Check at least three places. In this case, it would mean a savings of $272. The flight durations are within minutes of each other, by the way, and the food is probably equally bad on all the flights. Flexibility For Even Cheaper Airfare The more flexible you are, the better your chance of getting a really cheap plane tickets. Try different departure and return dates if you can. Check the box '2 or more connecting flights'. Mark the 'anytime' departure, even if you don't want to leave at midnight - the savings might change your mind. Try all the options. If the savings aren't enough, you can always book first class, direct flights, or whatever you prefer. Really Cheap Plane Tickets - More Ways You can buy two tickets. The cheapest airfare from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Tucson, Arizona costs $451 roundtrip right now. Las Vegas to Tucson is only $'161
