booking flights

[scouser1]

I know this has been asked probably before on here but just trying to get some advice on which site is best to book a flight, looking for a weekend in Boston in a couple of weeks.

www.kayak.com is by far the best flight booking site i have seen.

it is worthwhile signing up as it allows you to compare, easily, flight costs as they vary from day to day (if your dates are flexible)

It's always worth checking on a few different sites. I have never found any site that consistently has the best prices, so look around. It's also sometimes worthwhile checking the price on the airline's sites directly.

Is porter flying to Boston yet? If so I highly recommend, only a little pricier but a very enjoyable experience.

Amazing that you aren't on the "no fly list" yet, but good luck in your search!

Go on the SOUTHWEST Site I always fly out of Buffalo if going to the US. Once you cross the border you have cleared US Customs.SW and Jet Blue have great rates right now.

Thanks for the advice about flying out of Buffalo, I did look into Jet Blue and turns out I saved over 300 bucks Canadian just by doing the 90 minute drive to Buffalo, throw in its about 10 bucks a day to park at the airport and its definitely worth the savings.

And yep Porter has started to fly to Boston but their prices are wacky, I dont need to travel in style or luxury, just get to where I am going at a decent price.

any advice for someone crossing the border to fly out of buffalo, without a car?

any reliable bus services? positive experiences?

I usually use the big search sites (expedia, orbitz, kayak) to shop for the best time and price (keep in mind layover timing as well), then book on the original airline site

Coach Canada has a bus service from Toronto to Buffalo Airport. I'd never taken it myself but I heard it was reliable.
