My new favourite websites: farecast.com & farecompare.com

The Farecast travel site lets you search for airfares across multiple sites and airlines and tells you whether fares are rising or falling and whether to buy now or wait. You can compare airfares over the next 30 days to work out when's the cheapest time to go.

So for example if I fancy a long weekend in Miami I can check and see that mid-December is the best time to go and I should fly from JFK or La Guardia as they're hundreds of dollars cheaper than Newark airport. Love it.

It has international fares too.

Farecompare gives you a 1 year price history of a fare so you can see when the numbers dip. It also specialises in discount first class seats that are comparable in price, or cheaper, than economy seats. Freaky, but apparently true. I can't wait to try it out.

There is another great site out there that you might not be aware of called Airfarewatchdog.com.

These guys search thousands of airfares by hand every day to come up with the best possible deals. They cover all of the discount carriers as well as specials listed only on airline websites. Plus you can sign up for a daily newsletter which let's you know about the best fares from your city.

Worth checking out...
