When I moved back to California, my HNL-OAK ticket cost $100 less on Orbitz than AlohaAirlines.com was asking for the same flight. For my Thanksgiving trip (I'll write the trip report soon), Orbitz was again cheaper, this time than United.com. Finally, for winter break, my roommate's ticket on Expedia was cheaper than the same flights on AA.com. I'll go to the airline site to save the fee, but if the third party site is still cheaper, I'll go back. I'll spend $6 to save $100. :) -- David Mueller / HNL dmueller7@xxxxxxxxx http://www.quanterium.com ...fan of low fares
