Want to fly cheap? Time to break some bad habits.
Like buying the first cheap ticket you see or waiting until the last minute to book a fare.
As the economic slump continues and both business and leisure travel declines, fares are getting cheaper as airlines try to fill seats.

Even with such bargains, however, travelers need to know a few tricks to get the very best prices.

Weyer sets up e-mail alerts for prices on the route he's shopping for at fare-watching sites.
