Finding low air fares — art or science?
Who says that cheap plane tickets are a thing of the past? How would you like to go skiing in Utah this winter for less than $150 round trip from the East coast, including all taxes? Rather visit a warmer place? How about a ticket to Hawaii for less than $300? Yes, these are real prices, but you might need to do some homework to get them.
