Guys, I need some help.

 

I need to book a flight from Manila (MNL) to CLE on 2 June, then head back on 9 June. So far, the pricing that I am getting has been a bit out of budget. The flights that seemed to be best were on Delta to DTW, then Skywest to CLE. But now, it seems that the prices are going up every time I go to a site. And there seems to be so many sites, it is making my head swim.

 

Are there any suggestions as to where else I could maybe fly into cheaper, and pick up a connecting flight? Should I go direct to the airline sites, or keep checking the internet sites? Originally, it was to be the shortest flights I could find. But now, the primary focus is to find the cheapest flight possible.

 

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks guys.

Doug

I use Kayak. They have a fare watcher. Sometimes you have mere hours to snag up a deal.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

I saw them today while looking. I had not heard of them.

 

I've looked at so many sites, today my eyes are going crazy.

I agree with suggestion of Kayak. I always start my search there.

I would add Hipmunk to that, they let you see how things break down.

 

and if you want to get seriously hardcore,

 

go try

 

You need to be a member to view our links.

 

it is the backbone to most sites searches.  you can add a lot of variables, and while you can't buy there, you can get flight numbers that you can put into the other sites when it is time to buy

Thanks gang. The best deal I got was on Delta direct to DTW, and then the commuter down to CLE.
