   Use Search Engine
   
   Here, you are gonna want to search through online travel sites. These includes travelocity.com, cheapflights.com, bestfares.com, expedia.com and hotwires.com. Fares can be hundreds of dollars different so I suggest you check all of these.

5. Go to Airlines Official Website
   
   And once you've chosen the best one to accommodate your need, go to their actual website. Its better to do this before making a decision, because they can be cheaper there.
   
   Some discount carriers like JetBlue and SoutWest airlines don't show on travel sites, so it is wise to search their sites directly.

6. Make a Call
   
   Now its time to call the airline 800 no. Then ask for the lowest airfare. Note that
   do not mention the date of your departure. That way they will tell you the lowest fare, even though its 2 days behind or ahead of your target day. If they don't tell you. This time you are going to need to be flexible, because that is how you are going to get the cheaper one.
