Have an example? We should have the same fares as pretty much everyone else. There are some holes, but none in the US to my knowledge.

- paulgb 15y agoHipmunk is always my first stop for flights, but the last few I've booked I've ended up finding better deals elsewhere: London to Toronto (cheaper with CanadianAffair.com) Halifax, Canada to JFK (cheaper on US Airways site) Edmonton, Canada to LGA (cheaper on US Airways site) They're all at least partly non-US, but I was able to find similar price discrepancies with flights from NYC to SF and Seattle. For example, I am quoted $398 ($441 tax-in) for a flight from LGA to SEA round-trip from Aug 25 to Sept 8. Hipmunk gives me tickets from $398 each way, so I'd be paying twice as much minimum. In Europe, I've found SkyScanner.net to be generally cheaper because they have more discount airlines (namely Jet2, easyJet, and GermanWings; I avoid RyanAir)

Hipmunk gives me tickets from $398 each way, so I'd be paying twice as much minimum. This tripped me up the first time as well. That price is $398 round trip on Hipmonk. They show the best round trip price, not the best one way price. They say "from $398" to indicate that the best you can do is $398 if you pick the correct return flight.
- saucerful 15y agoORD to HNL 12/28 to 1/5. Hipmunk: $1092. Kayak: $917. (Both reservations have one layover in each direction and include tax. Kayak sends me to United.com directly while Hipmunk takes me to Orbitz.)
- michaelfairley 15y agoEdit: This is not actually true. I stand corrected. The Kayak number doesn't include fees and taxes, whereas the Hipmunk number does.
- saucerful 15y agoNope, from the the footnote: "Prices are per person and are for e–tickets and include all taxes & fees in USD."
- goldfish 15y agoPossibly due to a fare update happening around the time you did the search. When I do that search on Hipmunk I see a lowest fare of $899 (http://www.hipmunk.com/#!ORD_HNL,Dec28_Jan05@0,0 http://www.hipmunk.com/#!ORD_HNL,Dec28_Jan05@0,0) for a one-stop flight in each direction. Kayak's price is the same for the same itinerary. Admittedly Kayak has one flight for $870 and a few for $896, but they involved two stops.
