&lt;span class=&quot;normalcolor&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Use the Web to shop for cheaper flights&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;normalloose&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;normalloose&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_top&quot; href=&quot;http://expedia.msn.com/&quot;&gt;Expedia&lt;/a&gt; allows you to shop for the lowest airfare available. It also will send you rates by e-mail for any flights you regularly take or may be interested in.&lt;br/&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;normalloose&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;normalloose&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_top&quot; href=&quot;http://www.americanair.com/&quot;&gt;American Airlines&lt;/a&gt; publishes NetSAAver. Every Wednesday, NetSAAver gives details of their best bargain fares. To sign up, look at the American Airlines home page.&lt;br/&gt;
    &lt;br/&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;normalloose&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_top&quot; href=&quot;http://www.flycontinental.com/&quot;&gt;Continenta&lt;/a&gt;l has the C.O.O.L. program;  &lt;a target=&quot;_top&quot; href=&quot;http://www.twa.com/&quot;&gt;TWA&lt;/a&gt; has its Transworld Specials; and  &lt;a target=&quot;_top&quot; href=&quot;http://www.usair.com/&quot;&gt;USAirways&lt;/a&gt; has E-savers. &lt;br/&gt;
    &lt;br/&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;normalloose&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Or try a real airfare auction. &lt;a target=&quot;_top&quot; href=&quot;http://www.cathay-usa.com/&quot;&gt;Cathay Pacific&lt;/a&gt;, the largest carrier to the Orient, occasionally offers a large number of seats to the highest bidder.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;normalloose&quot;&gt;If you get cut out of a promotion, call again after 10 p.m. that night or first thing in the morning. Airlines often reinstate a promotion if it worked. If you miss a midnight deadline, call the airline in an earlier time zone or book on the Web.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
