How do you buy your plane tickets?
How do you buy your plane tickets?
I normally use kayak.com, and then compare against prices from the websites of airlines that are based in my town (Frontier and SW). What are your techniques? Good websites?

I almost always book with orbitz. I like the 3 day before and after flexible matrix, so you can see the best prices within the range of when you want to go. I usually check every site I can think of as well, and the price on orbitz is usually the cheapest, sometimes a few bucks from kayak. Though I always hear good things about kayak.
My dad uses bookingbuddy for europe travel. it's searches multiple sites including cheapoair, which he booked with.
I did see a cool thing recently. If you're fully flexible and just looking to go to a certain country this year - this place will tell you by month what the price will be for the whole year (maybe 2 months at a time).
