Visit the websites of the carriers you've chosen so that you can compare prices. You will often find a discount posted on the airline's website that is not otherwise listed on travel sites. You may also be able to claim frequent flier miles and deals for booking directly with the carrier instead of an agent.

Choose a crowded flight in the hopes that it is overbooked. When the airline asks for people who might volunteer to take a later flight, then volunteer. You'll get a travel voucher as your reward for being bumped from the flight.
