Reviews section on any carriers web page. Honestly, I do not travel or book a hotel until I read the reviews on Tripadvisor.com. That site has never disappointed me and is usually right on with every review.

For flights I usually start with sidestep.com.
To gather more information on locations I usually go to trip advisor.
Besides that, I search the web on the location I am visiting and gather information on travel that way.

Pricing out the trips is cool, putting together different times and dates for offpeak travel and having the flexibility to price different scenarios withought having a card charged is important.

Activities that tourists go to. Only so I can avoid those. Restaurants (if McDonald’s is listed I X-out immediately) are very helpful. I like to know what other people think of the restaurants, and helpful links.

I like to start with airfares, since they’re usually the largest single expense. I like a site with flexible search options because I would rather pick my dates according to when the lowest fare is available than choose an exact date first.

Once I’ve settled on a destination, I like to look at activities. I like to see links to multiple providers so I can shop around and compare the various options.

I always rely on personal anecdotes from travelers that have first hand advice on what to do, what not to do, and where the best places are. Many large websites have those personal rating systems by users, so I always check those out.

cruise values,,,, I book with these outfits at least twice a month and they have never done wrong.

I used Trip Advisor to plan my last trip – and found the forums there most helpful. Even if I had asked a question that had been asked 100 times before, someone was always willing to answer or point me in the right direction.

Specials, and the calender which shows the cheapest days to fly……..dunno if that’s on the Delta site though.

(Look at Southwest Airlines for some tips)

It would be nice to click what airport you can fly out of (or nearest you) and then have a list of great vacation locations ideas and prices of air travel and hotel average prices…. they do this with major airports but not smaller ones, like Omaha or Des Moines… that feature would be great for us in the midwest that are looking for winter vacations last minute!
