The next generation of "meta" travel agents—search engines that scan on-line consolidators, suppliers, and the major booking sites—have now added international booking sites and low-fare carriers to their repertoires. Three of our favorites:

Kayak.com Still being tested at press time, Kayak will search 35 sites and allow you to sort airfare results by departure or arrival time.

Mobissimo.com scours 55 U.S. and international sources and converts foreign currencies to U.S. dollars.

Qixo.com mines info from agencies, major carriers, small charter companies, and discount airlines—28 in all.
