Which website for booking vacations is the cheapest, for hotel and airfare?

Q. Hello there!
I was wondering if there's a website that has the cheapest price on hotel and airfare combined. If you know of any websites, please put the link so I can check em out.
Thanks!

A. If you are looking for the best value, why not call a travel agent. It won't cost you anymore than doing it yourself and you will gain by having their expertise. Good travel agents: TRAVEL. That means that chances are good that the agent has been to the destination you would like to visit and can give you better insights than booking with a website.
I've been a travel agent for 14 years and most of the time the price you see on line I can meet or beat! Try a travel agent for personalized help at no extra cost.

What is the best site for finding the cheapest price a hotel has to offer?
Q. I want to find and compare hotels. I've been to a few sites such as Expedia and kayak. Which site will give me the cheapest prices and also a comparison?

A. According to my friend who is working in hotel as e-commerce consultant, all these online booking websites should have the same rates or else they can be reported. The variation in some website is just because of exchange rate. He also said that the online booking that has partner bank in the country where the hotel is located may give better price because of the local currency. Here's a link of online booking site that can give you better rates because they have local currency where the hotel is located.

What would you pay on average for a hotel room? How expensive is too expensive?
Q. I'm doing a report for a Guest Management Service class on "How Expensive is too Expensive?" in regards to hotel prices. What you pay on average for a hotel room? And what do you think certain age groups pay for hotels? Who's more attracted to the expensive hotels and the cheap or medium priced hotels?

A. On average, I pay between $80-$100 for a moderate hotel room that offers free internet and breakfast. I will pay up to $250 for a hotel room in a prime location (such as major cities or on the beach). The time of year also effects the cost of a room. A hotel in Washington, D.C. can be $75.00 a night in March but $375 in October or April. I think younger hotel guests are more interested in finding the cheapest price. Older guests are willing (and able) to pay higher prices for a prime location in high season that offers amenities such as restaurants, spa services, gym, pool, etc. Families want a moderate price for a clean, safe hotel.
