    Actually from Dallas/Ft Worth, it is cheaper doing the package deal from Expedia.

    Is this the not the case for most people?

    Orbitz package deal is usually best for us out of Charlotte with Expedia coming in a close second.

    The best room prices I've found is alpharooms but the kicker is booking the airfare separate. Usually as a total package I've found orbitz to be the cheapest.

    Alpharooms is normally the cheapest by a long way for the room, but not for packages. A lot of folks who use Alpha have access to cheap flights using points or miles and book hotel and air separate.

    Also good for those who just need a taxi like us ;)

    I always check all the online sites for three airports, and Expedia has the best package every time...I'm sure it varies depending on location, as others have said.

    For me it's Redtag.ca ( but only for canadian resident ). Always few buck less than Expedia.
    But I will check around Feb, March, and book..

    I think I'll book everything separatly this year.. Don't know yet.. I got a bad experience last year with sunquest :(

    I always check Alpharooms first then expedia and the others. Last year Alpharooms worked for us, this year it was expedia and we got ocean view.

    We just booked with Itravel2000, and it took some arm twisting.... but they price matched with Orbitz. Ask for Tara hahaha
