Web Savvy: Save Time--Let the Web Surf for You

Why wander the Web aimlessly? 'Spy' services alert you when sites change.

Southwest Airlines: If you're willing to fly in and out of smaller airports, this site offers great deals and pleasing flights.
Expedia: Don't count on it for great airfares, but hotel discounts can be significant if you plop down your credit card in advance.
Amtrak: Not every trip is a bargain. If you noodle around, however, you can find good promotional rates--often for shorter rail journeys.
Flights.com: This European site offers truly cheap tickets worldwide, including U.S. cities. Overseas wanderers can get Eurail passes, too.
AAA: If you're a member of AAA, don't make travel plans until you visit one of its regional sites. If not--hey, you have to get car insurance somewhere.
