A new travel site I have found

I mostly talk about new tech gadgets here, but I thought I would write a quick post about a site that I found a while ago that has helped me find some cheap flights.

The site is iwantthatflight.com.au and it is all about flights. It compares the major Australian airlines (Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Blue & Tiger) and then sends you to the airline's site when you are ready to book. No commission. No kidding

So that is how it can always show you the cheapest flights :)

It also has international flights. You can check out Flights to Auckland, Flights to London and Flights to Bali.

Anyway, hopefully you find the site as useful as I have.
