Airfaredig.com - fare bargain lists
www.airfaredig.com -- I have been using this convenient site since '05. Apparently it's maintained by a 17 yr old teen who appears to be a pretty good fare 'guru.' The site lists top deals to/from 25 major u.s. cities.
Just wanted to share it since it has been useful for me, probably not bookmark worthy for most FT'ers.

Heh...I had wondered the same thing. Originally, the site had 50+ cities, but he claimed updating all of the cities daily was overwhelming. So now the 25 available cities he said in an e-mail "are a combination of the largest U.S. cities and busiest U.S. airpots."
I'll let him know that D.C. and Boston are requested.

I've been seeing $178 Boston to Spokane fare at this site, for the last 5 days. Every time I clicked through, it became a $500 fare.
I know it had to be a mistake!

Looks suspiciously similar to www.airfwarewatchdog.com

I'm quite confident they are not the same. The look and feel is quite different and so are the fares.
The airfarewatchdog.com is a better one. For example, it found $189 Boston to Oakland or Seattle. No such thing on the other one.
The other one also listed $159 Boston to Rochester. I'm sure it's a typo, and probably should be $109, as listed on airfarewatchdog.com.
So far I am not impressed.
