Bought My Plane Ticket!

I bought my plane ticket to England! Yay! 
Okay so I know this is a late posting but give me a break it's the end of the quarter! 

I will be flying on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines from Syracuse, NY to London, England  (Heathrow airport) on May 30, 2012 and returning on July 25, 2012. I'm extremely excited for my summer adventure and am sure to keep you updated!

But first, my review on the best site to use for booking a flight!  And the winner is:

I absolutely love this site for booking my plane ticket. It is one of the best shopping bots in terms of finding the lowest price available.  Some people like other sites such as Kayak.com and bookingbuddy.com but TripAdvisor was able to search ALL of them. It even allows you to check the sites against their own search. It directed me to a flight from StudentUniverse.com . With StudentUniverse it allowed me to purchase my ticket at a student price as long as it verified that I was a student (it took about 10 mins).

TripAdvisor also gives customer reviews, hotels, vacation rentals, restaurants and things to do.  All you need to do is create a username and login.

The only problem I saw with tripadvisor was that in different browsers it gave different prices. My friend was using Safari and I was using Chrome and it gave completely different prices and flights until she switched to different browser (Chrome and Firefox provided the cheaper prices). This however, could be a problem with the browsers itself.
