Airfare sales : How to find them?

[Callie]

My husband has finally retired, so we can travel anytime!! I have fantasies of finding a terrific fare to Paris/London/Madrid/Rome, etc. and leaving next week. But how do I find these wonderful fares? I vaguely remember reading about someone who had a blog with this sort of information, but haven't been able to find it.

Any suggestions, other than getting email from every airline in the world? I don't do Twitter or Instagram, but would actually consider it for cheap travel.

There's www.secretflying.com . There are also alerts from Kayak; I'm familiar with that more for searches of a specific trip on specific dates.

Thanks, Andrew. secretflying looks like it could be helpful. I have done Kayak for specific dates too. Maybe I just need to spend some time playing with it to see if I could gets alerts within a longer window or something.

Also good deals show up on some blogs. Today I saw this on View from the Wing: $255 Roundtrip to Europe (!) on oneworld Airlines between top U.S. and European cities.

Thanks again, Andrew. View from the Wing listed a couple of other blogs that I'm going to check out as well.
