HELPFUL WEBSITES
FlightStats.com. No other site combines real-time departure and arrival information, wait times at security checkpoints, and up-to-the-minute weather reports. And it’s free.
Kayak.com. In the beginning, there were Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz, and finding the best fare required searching them all. Then Kayak arrived to search the search engines.
Farecast.com. This site crunches ticket data from the past 90 days to predict where prices might be going. Is it worth waiting to see if prices will fall? Now you know.
Seatguru.com. Annotated diagrams for every plane in every major airline’s fleet, including notes on which seats in JetBlue’s exit rows fail to recline (seats 10A and 10F, in case you’re wondering).
FlyerTalk.com. The online clubhouse for road warriors, mileage runners, and inveterate frequent fliers. Not for beginners, however.
