Bing™ Travel (formerly Farecast) is an invaluable tool for the bargain traveler. Enter your desired travel dates and “To” and “From” cities, and Bing™ will tell you whether fares are expected to rise, remain the same, or decrease over the next week. It will also tell you how certain they are in their prediction!  Bing™ bases its predictions on years of fare histories. Although it doesn’t yet have data for every possible city pair, the folks at Bing™ are always adding new combinations!

Most of you have probably already used Google™. Have you heard of Goog411™? It’s a free 411 service you can reach on any phone (standard phone rates apply).

You can then have them send you a text message with the information, or be connected directly to the business. And it’s free!
