I've not been a air travel person ever. So, I'm not really conversant with how to hunt for cheap tickets. I want to get to Hawaii sometime this spring. If anyone has any tips or favorite websites they want to pass on I would appreciate the help. I've looked around the net some but honestly got overwhelmed.

Also, and I realize that 9/11 may have caused this to not be possible, I remember a book back in the 90's I saw about how to get around the world via alternate forms or air and sea travel. Basically, I remember it as a book about how to be a passenger on commercial transport flights and ships. If anyone has any insight into this or can confirm it's generally not possible now, I'd apprecaite the info.
