Always check your fare with SideStep -- it will check them all, even Southwest and other discount airlines, for the best price. Keep in mind that Southwest is an uncomfortable choice for a transcon and no longer has the best fare, it is sometimes significantly more expensive for less service, at least from my departure airport. They don't make a profit while other airlines run at a loss because they are giving anything away.

The "mileage run" forum at Flyertalk should be checked each day. Excellent but sometimes short-lived transcons and long hauls will be posted there.

Air-fare.com/xxx where xxx is your airport departure code should also be checked. For instance, you depart from Vegas, the code is LAS, so check out air-fare.com/las every morning.

Expedia, cheaptickets, and travelocity do not often have the best fares. It could happen, but when it does, SideStep will catch it for you anyway.

and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
