Expert Answer

The key to purchasing cheap airline tickets is to stay at the destination over a Saturday night. Air fares are usually priced so that business travelers are charged the most, and those are the people that cannot stay a Saturday night. In addition, book in advance as many days as you can if you know the precise dates of your trip.

Try Expedia, or book it a month in advance or at least 2 weeks before you fly.

Question

I want to fly between multiple cities in any order. How can I find the lowest fare?

Try using a website like Expedia or Priceline, and put in the various city-to-city combinations. It will take some time to sort through all of the results, but will save you money in the long run. Avoid just using 1 airline for all of the flights, since different airlines may offer cheaper 1-way flights between different cities.
