Quote:The prices I was pulling up were from Kayak.

Not sure what everyone loves about Kayak. I only tried it once or twice, but my experience is that it just gave me a dozen popups of the other travel sites. A little secret: all of those sites draw their fares from ITA. ITA also happens to have a free public window. It is as follows: matrix.itasoftware.com/

 

There are a couple of catches to make it work though. First, you can't buy anything off of this site. It simply publishes fares. You need to take the information to a purchase site (I recommend the airline site directly). Second,  you have to learn what to do with it a bit, but once you get good with the site, you can travel for pennies on the dollar, simply by changing your flight by a day or driving to another airport an hour down the road.

 

Bottom line though: priceline, travelocity, orbitz, and all the others pull their fares from the site I listed. That's why all the fares always look the same. It's because they are.
