As we recently mentioned, airlines want you to book on their Web sites, not with Kayak or Travelocity or Orbitz.

We're not quite sure if the discount code/certificate number works only for one time use (although it does say you can forward the discount to a friend). So sign up for the airlines' newsletters and save money.
