believe it (or William Shatner) or not, but www.priceline.com rules.  I got
a ticket from San Francisco to Dusseldorf (on Lufthansa - who are definitely
a frills airline) for the price I set of $400.  That's about $300 cheaper
than normal.

travelocity.com has worked for me, though sometimes it's sort of
complicated to get registered on it. Or maybe I'm  just an idiot. Now let
me know off-line, how to get hooked up to northwest's site, if you've got
time. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

northwest.com? duh

np Paul Kelly's Words and  Music. Interesting stuff, reminds me of a cross
between Richard Thompson and Lou Reed. Guy's got a bad attitude. I love it.

Two sites that work pretty well for me are Cheaptickets. com and
Priceline.com.  I would try out the first one first though, much easier to use
and navigate.  Good luck

If that's your first exposure to Paul Kelly, the Australian wonder, 
and you want to go back catalog, here's a great web site.  I'd
recommend _Gossip_ or _Under the Sun_ as a second purchase
(back in the Paul Kelly  the Messengers/Colored Girls days.)

Others might have different suggestions.

hey jim,

www.cheaptickets.com is the best I have found for both lodging and
flights.  I booked late to Austin from Chicago and still found a
flight under $225 which is more than I wanted to pay (I missed my big
Southwest plan by one day, oh well.)

at least www.cheaptickets.com has been good" Millar

I don't know about that, but I've had no luck with them in three attempts.
Either they've been unable to get me a ticket or their fares have been
higher than the airlines' published ones.

Travelocity.com is pretty reliable, and much better than Microsoft's
Expedia. I've also had great luck with Worldspan, which is one of the
services that travel agents use. Unfortunately you can't get to them
directly; you have to go through a travel agent. There are lots of online
agents that work through them, though; it just takes some hunting around.

I booked my SXSW fare through Cheap Tickets (www.cheaptickets.com), who got
me a far lower fare than any others I'd seen. But they also sent me two
different sets of tickets--one I'd ordered and one I hadn't--and charged me
for both. I'm right in the middle of trying to get this straightened out,
but their customer service people have been very hard to reach so far. If
they refund the cost of the extra tickets, I'll be able to give them a
qualified recommendation--qualified because they screwed up and because
their customer relations are, shall we say, lacking.
