What's the best website for travel bargains?

I use kayak, qixo, tripadvisor, orbitz, travelocity, expedia, farechase, cheaptickets, cheapfares, mobissimo, go today, octopus, cheapflights, sidestep, skyauction, and booking buddy. It takes me hours to find the right deal. Is here something faster adn better than searching all of these different sites? I want a one-stop shop that will do a more comprehesive search.

    The cheapest way is to go directly to an airline's website and search the sight for lowest fares and dates.

    None of the travel sights sell tickets for all of the airlines...missing, most notably, are the low-fare carriers e.g. Southwest, airTran, Jet Blue, etc.

    Very often I've looked up fares on the travel sights and found what I thought to be a good deal. But then I'd go to a low-fare carrier's website and find a walk-up fare that is much lower than a so-called legacy carrier airline's discount fare that is offered by a travel sight.

    For ease though, any of the travel sights works fine. You'll pay more for the ticket, but won't have to spend a lot of time over several days checking each airline's websites.

    A list of all airlines websites can be found at airlineflightinformation.com

    Hotwire is good, but I'm not sure how comprehensive it is. It's kind of like Priceline--you can't see the name of the hotel or airline before you pay, but you can see the star level and amenities.
