The ultrahip Hipmunk.com has revolutionized how to find the best airfares online.

I’d planned to fly WestJet home to Canada from Baja. … But they don’t fly that route on the day I must return to the Great White North.

Here’s my results from a fast and easy search on Hipmunk:

I took the top choice as selected by “agony”, a combination of lowest price, fewest stops, and shortest duration.

The damage: $250.66USD (including taxes & $25 luggage charge) with connection in Phoenix

WestJet non-stop on the way down was $300.

I can see no downside to this new approach in comparison shopping. (Be aware that some airlines are not listed in this or any other fare comparison site, notably Southwest.)
