Sites for Travel Planning suggested by
Maureen Greenbaum who computes SUMWARE in NJ

QIXO is a shopbot for airlines and hotels.  It visits some of my favorite site like Travelocity, and 1Travel as well as the airlines sites themselves (Delta, Continental, Northwest, United, etc) and compares the fares so you can easily find the best deal on airfare.  They do hotels (PlacesToStay, etc  too).

You might want to visit the individual sites to find special deals and to sign up for email alerts.
