You've heard all the negative news about the economy, gas prices, food prices... you know it's bad when even Starbucks is forced to close up some shops! So you just want to get away! But there's a catch! A long road trip will cost you too much gas money and suddenly all airline ticket seem to come with what appears to be first class price tags.

Searching the web used to be the answer when it came to finding cheap flights but even that doesn't seem to work any more... or does it? There is a brand new website called www.Compete4YourSeat.com

Here's how it works, put in your destination and dates (last minute is fine - actually you'll probably do even better) and then travel agents compete for your business. Some travel agents have better connections with certain airlines than others, so this way, you get hooked up with the agent with the best 'hook up' for your particular destination. Shortly after you put in your information, the site tells you which agent came back with the best 'bid.' I wasn't sure it worked but after doing a lot of online comparison shopping, I found Compete4YourSeat came up with the lowest fare every time!

Give it a try and take that summer vacation you deserve but thought you couldn't afford! I know I will! See you after the 4th!
