Venezuealan mountains from an airplane: LOW COST Airplane Ticket vendor list, Internet Ticket Purchasing Strategies, Traveling, And here's Google Flights ...

Reposting this from November 2011 

Hi All,

I've posted a fairly extensive list of low cost air ticket vendors and their web sites below. I think they all compete around a kind of base fare, but there are probably deals for people who look persistently.

What vendors would you add to this list?

Some new sites and ideas: 

Airfarewatchdog - 

FareCompare - 

Try searching for tickets on Tuesdays at 3 pm. 

Try buying flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, when tickets are generally cheapest. 

Some highly rated airlines - 

Virgin America, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Frontier Airlines
