Travel Price Search

I have looked at and used my fair share of travel websites over the years, but given that I have not been travelling lately, I have not had the need to research any trips. But I did run across Kayak.com that has been up for a year now that does a very good job gathering prices from all over the place. The interface is “Googlish” in that it is mostly textual and fairly clean, even through there are a fair amount of text ads.

Kayak doesn’t actually sell the tickets like other sites, just sends you to the sites that do.

• buzz section for popular vacation ideas

My other travel resource is SmarterTravel.com, which does a good job pulling together the various promotions out there.
