With the London Olympics well underway, there's never been a better time to book your trip and get down to currently the most active and exciting city in the world.

The latest travel booking sites to drop their fees are Orbitz and CheapTickets. The good news is that the booking fees they used to add is now no more. This means they join the company of Expedia and Travelocity in reducing the costs of airfare

The internet is the best place to find cheap airfares. While online travel agencies, or 'travel consolidators', lack the attention and service of a traditional travel agent, the ease of price comparison is unbeatable.
