Kayak Trips Helps Travelers: Flights, car rentals, and hotels can be difficult to keep track of while you're traveling, especially when schedule changes and delays occur. If you have an iPhone, Blackberry, or Android phone, this can come in handy.
1. Sign up to Kayak.com with your email address, unless you already have an account there. Also download their mobile app for your phone, unless you already have it installed. Launch the Kayak app on your phone, and log in.
2. When you book travel online (flight/car/hotel), they will email you a confirmation detailing your reservation. Forward that email in its entirety to trips@kayak.com
3. Within 15 minutes, you should be able to view your trip details on your phone.
It displays your confirmation numbers for easy access when needed, which can come in very handy when checking in at the airport kiosks where a confirmation number is the easiest way to get your boarding pass. They also keep you posted on scheduling changes and send checkin reminders.

If you want to keep family posted on your travel arrangements, forward your confirmation emails to them, and have them re-forward the emails to their trips@kayak.com account. They will receive email updates on the status and arrival times of your flight via email and from the mobile phone's app.

JetBlue.com Outage This Weekend: FYI for anyone traveling on JetBlue Airways this weekend, or planning to buy airline tickets this weekend. JetBlue plans to take their website down for much of the weekend, likely beginning during the evening of Jan 29, and coming back online doing the morning of Feb 1. Booking travel, looking up existing reservations, online check-in, changing seats, and researching flights will likely not work for you this weekend, so best to use their website today to avoid frustration this weekend.

United.com - airfare sale
Purchase by Jan 7, and complete the travel by March 11. If you can find seats at the sale prices, some are good deals such as Washington DC to Orlando for $55 each way (plus taxes) and Chicago to London for $140 each way (plus taxes), but many other sale fares are just fair deals. For example, JetBlue often offers Chicago to New York City for around $70 each way (same as United's offer), and San Francisco to Boston for $120 each way (United's offer is $160 each way). However the good news is many other airlines have also matched United's sale fares, so you can find good travel deals this winter on several carriers.

When comparing rates, be sure to factor in taxes (about $25 each-way for domestic and about $90 each-way for international). A website like Kayak.com can help compare all airlines' prices on a single page, and their prices shown do factor in all taxes & fees, but do not include baggage fees which can go for about $15 to $20 for 1 checked bag per person, each way.
