GraciebytheBay Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 My son lives in Edmonton, Alberta (CA) for graduate school, and we live in New York. It is time to book his ticket for Christmas, but the fares are all over the place, from $857-$1100+ He is pretty flexible with dates. It would be wonderful if there was a way to punch in the possible range of dates of arrival and departure and let the computer do the work of find the lowest fare for those time periods. Right now, all I can do is put specific dates in. It's like a crap shoot! Okay, now let's try this combination, now this one...it's getting old, and I'm never sure what's a good deal or if there would be a better one if I changed one of the dates by just one day. Of course, I am dreaming of a "cheap" fare!:tongue_smilie: Does anyone know if there is a website that does this? I would be so grateful. Thank you!

Joker Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm pretty sure Travelocity.com and Expedia.com allow for a range of dates. I know I've done one with a few days difference and one with a month range. There's also Kayak.com which I think allows it as well. I haven't done it in a while, but those are the ones that stick out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Have you looked at http://www.hipmunk.com/? It's very user friendly, and it allows you to see all of the options at once for up to three consecutive departure dates. You also get to sort by whatever aspect of the trip is most important to you - price, "agony," flight duration, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammie Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Do a google search on "airfare comparison with flexible dates" - I got at least 10 sites that say they offer just that. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I use livewire.com, put in my dates that I prefer, and then when the flights with prices come up, click on the little calendar at the top that says See Price Calendar. When it comes up,click "Search for all prices." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfgivas Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 we like hipmunk, and kayak. oldest dd is in edmonton, and its a job to shop tickets. we always check out of calgary, too. sometimes its worth the drive. sometimes short hops to get over the border open up lower fairs on this side. mostly, we just check morning, afternoon and evening for days until we finally buy. good luck! ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Airfarewatchdog.com is another good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
