Air Travel Links - BootsnAll Toolkit

We all know that airfare is going to take what is likely to be the biggest bite out of your wallet when it comes to your travels, so we think it makes sense to (a) do whatever you can to minimize the amount of cash the airlines get from you, and (b) be a well-informed passenger once you do book your ticket. So you’ll find a list here of resources we particularly like, both for learning about and finding great deals on airfare and for educating yourself about air travel in general. If you’ve found a site that you think should be included here, contact us with the URL and a short description of why it’s helpful.
