I've got to type fast in order to steal his post from Justin, particularly as he taught me everything I'm about to type.

In my previous post I explained the budget traveling importance of kayak.com, the one-stop website for finding the best fares.

This site does the research for you. They scour the web for specials and regularly come up with amazing ones. Justin flew from Los Angeles to Boston for under $200 through one of the promotions they discovered.
