Travel Tip #3: airfarewatchdog.com


The next time you search for airfares on-line, check out airfarewatchdog.com. Watchdog is similar to priceline, travelocity, and others except for 2 big differences. The first is that watchdog does not use computer programs to search and enter airfares onto their site. Watchdog has real people dedicated to searching airline sites which allows them to search smaller airlines that the average traveler has never heard of. The second big difference is Southwest Airlines. Watchdog boasts that its the only travel site that has Southwest airfares featured on their site. You won't find fares from Southwest on priceline and others like it.
Cool feature: My favorite aspect of the site is the weekly email service. The user can enter in specific airports into your profile. Each week you will receive an email with the best airfares from that specific airport. My home airport is Dane County Regional Airport (Madison WI). Over the past few months I've seen round trip airfares for under $200 to several cities on both coasts.
Airfarewatchdog.com can save you time and money.
