If you want to avoid pitfalls when you are booking air travel, make sure you lock down your ticket within the twenty four hour reservation time, because after that, the price could go up from what they quoted you the day before. lf you want to check the history of the flight you are on for prices, go to farecompare.com. They give a newsletter there all the time that tells you how to get better airline tickets, and they also provide you with a year's worth of history so that you can see how the air travel rates have changed over the year.
