Planning a journey involves a lot of internet searching. The following websites are ones that I have either booked through or found helpful.
Most importantly, I hope to list sites that are generally useless or present a trick or two for new players. I hate to say it, but I was caught recently by using a website to book accommodation in New York that blatantly misrepresented the final price, wasting days of web searching for a bargain.
This page is a work in progress, so please check regularly if you are interested in scoring travel bargains.
