Use the codeshare trick – buy a seat on the same flight via a partner airline for less…much less

Submitted
It doesn’t work for every fare, and you have to seek it out but, when you do find them, they’re a great money saver. If you like flying with a particular airline or know the exact flight you want, ‘codesharing’ could be a way to get a flight with that airline via another one. It’s when airlines buddy up to sell seats on each other’s flights, quite often at a different price. (aviationrepublic.com) More...

The only issue is if there is a problem with the flight. It can get tricky when the flights are on a different carrier than the one whose ticket stock was used. I remember ticketing a continental flight on united stock in the early days of their merger.

We had a flight cancelled due to snow and neither airline would initially accept responsibility for getting me to my destination. Continental ultimately made it right, but it was a huge pain.

Hi, I tried a number of flight comparison websites and couldn't generate results as shown in the real world example. Which websites are best for this? Thanks.
