I would like to go to Germany from Pittsburgh sometime next late June. I absolutely need the lowest prices (INCLUDING fees and taxes) if someone can give me any advice whatsoever, or any websites that are very cheap, that would be excellent. I’m trying to keep the cost anywhere under $900 to $1100 total. If it helps, my dad is on the Naval reserve (just in case of military discount)

I would highly recommend both hotwire and priceline, with cheaptickets comping in a close third. I’ve searched around for airfare quite a bit, and these three sites usually ring true as the cheapest. Other than that, I’d go to sites like igougo.com, travelzoo.com, or bookingbuddy.com. These sites offer searches of multiple online airfare websites, making it easier and less time consuming to compare prices. As for when to buy, I usually go to farecast.com. They pretty accurately predict when a good time to buy a flight would be based off of past and current trends, etc. It’s pretty useful. Another site I’ve found handy is rightflight.org. They did a bunch of research on the various airfare sites to see which sites are usually the cheapest. They also have a list of most of the airfare sites (60+) on their webpage, which can be pretty handy in and of itself. Hope this helped!

Well, I would start out by trying to get the flight for free using frequent flyer miles. You might be thinking “I don’t fly, how do I get flyer miles?” To start, log onto club.live.com (its a site run by Microsoft), sign up, and play their stupid little games, and then transfer your points into frequent flyer miles. You can transfer them to American, Delta, and I know there are a few others. You can get roughly up to 500 frequent flyer miles a day and you need 60,000 for a free flight. If you play enough you might even be able to get a business class ticket. So get to playing! Also, if you have a good credit rating you might try signing up for the airline credit card (eg. American offers 25,000 for just signing up for the card and charging a few hundred dollars).
