it's also worth practicing... even when you don't need to go somewhere... test different avenues.. and utlimately, it's usually better to buy tickets on the airline's website and not the search engine's.... cause then you're on the airline's terms and not the search engine's and it's also probably a little cheaper because most charge a 5-10 dollar fee for helping you find the flight.

I agree - Kayak is amazing. It shows you the cheapest options AND presents you with the direct links to book the ticket. It's a good idea to check out Hotwire if it's last minute but there are limitations.
