Some people view them as promotional hype and a waste of time, but airline special offer pages on the Web can turn up some very nice bargains. Why is this true? Because many time, airlines will try to move unsold seats on these pages. No one in the business office wants a flight to take off with empty seats, so they'll cut their losses and at least try to get something from nothing. That's when some of the most memorable deals occur. Don't miss them!
