Kayak —

Kayak.com is my first source for information about flights. They have a good, comprehensive database that includes information from individual airlines' websites, so that's very helpful, as I used to have to search the various travel websites (all conveniently searched by Kayak now) and then go to the individual airlines' websites to see if they had a lower fare than the travel sites. The one drawback is that Kayak does not include listings for Southwest Airlines, my current favorite, but having to search one other site is not so bad. I have found that Kayak really does show the lowest fares, regardless of where they're found, so it seems pretty trustworthy to me. I have not been overly impressed with Kayak's rental car or hotel searches, so go elsewhere for those.
