Find cheap airfares with Dream Maps
Let bargain fares tell you where to go

Compare airfares to various destinations before deciding where to travel.

Your savings can be incredible.

Finding low fares could be tedious, but let Travelocity's Dream Maps do the work.

Using Dream Maps

  • Click on

    Dream Maps     (opens in new window)
    Dream Maps (opens in same window)

  • Enter one of your possible departure airports.

  • Type in the maximum you'd be willing to pay.

    You'll get a map showing the places you can go within your budget.

  • Click on one for a list of airlines and their fares.

  • When you click on the various airlines, Dream Maps shows you when your low fare is actually available.

    Your total fare may vary by the routing—taxes and fees vary by where you land.

You'll find Dream Maps for National Parks, hiking areas, Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, and the South Pacific.

NOTE: Have some patience. As you use Dream Maps, airlines update their information. The dates showing available may change. You may run into odd situations where airlines publish fares to places they are not currently serving.

This all sorts out when you enter a reservation request.

Saving more

Now, you know the places with the lowest fares and on what days and flights they are available.

If you are flexible, you can compare these rates to Hotwire's fares.

Using Hotwire.com, you usually save even more by letting the airlines pick your flight times.

The savings can be terrific if you're willing to leave any time between 6:00 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. You'll travel nonstop or with one connection, unless these are not available for your destination.

And, you'll only travel on major full-service airlines, such as American and Continental, the ones that offer advanced seat selection.

Saving even more

With Priceline.com Air, you may save even more by bidding below the Hotwire price. Go for a rather modest discount because the services of the two companies are so similar.

As with Hotwire, priceline uses major airlines and the procedures and rules are similar. The savings are especially appreciated for last-minute travel.

No refunds or changes are allowed at these prices.

Enjoy your trip!
