Find me a cheap plane fare from Boston To Orlando roundtrip. We are going from 4/21-4/28. Have looked online, but prices are all over the map! Where's the best place to price shop?

I usually start with Kayak. It lets you check all the airline sites (except Southwest) as well as Price Line, orbitz, etc in one inquiry

your best bet would be to go to the airport... and see what airline this person uses:

Do not take Snide's advice. He may know cheap, but there's a reason every flight he's on is delayed.

The only delayed flights recently have been on C*ntinental. I don't recommend them.

Southwest has a direct flight from MHT to Mickey Mouse.

It doesn't seem like anybody is doing those great $79 fares anymore I seem to recall them being advertised a lot not too long ago? Maybe it's been longer than I remember though!

99 pewtercoupe, Kayak didn't seem to work for me. I gave it the info and it just sat there searching, never gave an answer.

Remember they just changed the laws so the fare you see now includes all the fees and taxes. Those $79 fares probably ran $250 once you loaded in all the add-ons.

sometimes in the middle of the night, you can find good deals on various websites. One time, at 3am, I stumbled upon a flight to Orlando for $125 rt. back when Continental was decent...
