Any frequent flyer programme will give you cheap airline tickets.
Otherwise try researching and signing up for airline’s newsletters. Then you’ll get emailed when the sales are on.

There is no secret, magic website with the “cheapest” airfares. You have to do the research, and be as flexible as possible regarding travel dates.
Check the travel sites (airgorilla, expedia, priceline, travelocity, etc.) and also check the airline websites. I have often (not always, but often) found the best fares on the airline websites. Remember to check airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that do not use the travel sites.
Check with a real travel agent to ask about promotional fares and special deals.
If you also need a hotel or rental car, check the cost of combining the purchases in a package. For example, I found a deal with airfare + hotel in Hawaii for a week that was only $100 more than just the airfare.
When traveling to far destinations check the prices when you split the ticket. For example, searching “Chicago to Nairobi” (all on one ticket) MAY cost much more than searching “Chicago to London” and then “London to Nairobi”. If that turns out to be the case, talk to a real travel agent about getting the better fare all on one ticket.
Good luck!

I would recommend checking out BookMe.com… You can compare all the major travel websites in 60 seconds, and only search for the ones you want. Keep checking, and eventually you find a GREAT deal! And they only search reputable/reliable sites, so you won’t need to worry about anything.
