Take a look at bumfly for cheap flights.

Basically, you enter in your trip details (which cities, approximate flight dates and other options) and the site will start to monitor cheap-flights websites for the fares for that trip. Then, anytime the flight drops in price, you’ll get an email notification.

A lot of people want to travel somewhere for a weekend or a couple of days, but don’t mind the exact date. Fares can differ greatly from one weekend to the next, so it’s good to know when’s cheapest to fly.

The idea sprang from an old script on one of the netsoc machines that would monitor the Ryanair website for cheap flights and tell you when was best to fly. I’ve taken that idea and made it all “Web 2.0″.

It’s a simple enough idea, but hopefully will be useful to some folks and might make me some revenue on ad clicks.
