I'm sorry to hear about your mother in law, usually I use Kayak.com

It's a good website, you can modify the search based on how much do you want to spend and how many transfers do you want to take.

What cities would you be flying from/to?

I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL.
I asked my daughter what site she uses (since I've only flown once in my 50 years), and she said she uses airfare.com. HTH!

Southwest.com has some good prices right now, with a 14 day advance purchase, they fly from san fran, san jose, and sac into raliegh/durham

Email me at averyandalexsmom at yahoo if you haven't purchased tickets yet and Southwest is an option for you. I would pm you, but looks like you don't have that option yet.

Check any of the major travel websited like travelocity.com or expedia.com See which of the airlines have the best price and then go to that companys website. You can usually get it cheaper from the company's website rather than paying a fee when booking at on of those other sites.
