Online travel agent adds city-to-city email notices

We love travel sites that promise us the moon and deliver a sleek new ship for the ride there. Airfare Watchdog is one of our favorites, but today it's an even slicker option. Thanks to new features like personalize city-to-city airfare email alerts.

Ticket Outta HereTicket Outta HereThe email alerts aren't new, but your ability to pair specific cities is. That means instead of signing up for mass alerts that you'll have to sift through, you can customize them to your particular travel interests.

Taking advantage of sites like Airfare Watchdog often comes down to how flexible you can be. If you're traveling for business or taking a cruise, you won't have the same flexibility as someone booking a vacation to see the family back East for a few weeks.

But if you can be flexible, get ready to save money. By giving the site a couple of departure options and some additional wiggle room for the return trip, you can often save substantially on the fare. And if you're traveling to an international destination but can be flexible about your departure city from within the US, you'll be able to find cheaper fares quicker.

Airfare Watchdog also captures airline "promo-codes" that other sites haven't been able to snag as yet.

If you're a travel junky like us, you'll love how customizable you can make your alerts and searches on Airfare Watchdog. And if you want to make sure you've found the absolute best prices you can possibly find, have a look at some of the other booking sites we love:

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Julia Rosien said "Great to meet you as well, Terri. And yes, we adore the Bay of Fundy :-) While I'll agree it's no longer parka weather in your neck of the woods, it's not quite string bikini weather either. Shall we toast to it and let the beer warm us up? Happy St Paddy's Day! Julia"

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Terri said "hey Travel girls, great to hear that you love our Bay of Fundy here on the east coast of Canada as much as you love Tim Horton's ...and, as a Bay of Fundy chick, I love the green tide analogy. For sure, there will be lots of fun times down here around St Paddy's day but I just want to send you a correction to say you certainly won't be needing a parka? to visit at this time of year. It's +8 to +10 degress Celius (that's in the 50s F for our American friends) - definitely well above parka weather. haha So nice that the birds are chirping and the maple sap is flying out of the trees and, ultimately, on to our pancakes. Happy spring! Terri the Bay of Fundy blogger bayoffundy.blogspot.com "

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."
