Also, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link to see the airfares on days around your selected departure. It's possible to pick up cheaper flight deals if you're flexible with your schedule.
You can also select the 'Show options' function to filter results for your preferred carrier, seating class, nonstop flights and refundable flights. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even choose the time of day you'd prefer to fly.
Lock in your fare as soon as you've decided on your travel dates. While you can get lucky on occasion, tickets rarely drop in price as your date of departure gets closer.
