I'm planning a trip to Miami. Flight deals/rates

I'm planning a trip to Miami. Flight deals/rates?
Myself and 4 other adults (5 in total) are going to be staying in Miami for 5 nights (Jan. 4 - Jan. 9) for the Orange Bowl. We plan on leaving out of Chicago's O'Hare or Midway. Many of you may be shocked but I have never flown before so am new at the whole booking flights thing. If anyone has made the trip, could u please advise on airline and price or recommend good websites? Thanks to anyone in advance.

Best to go straight to http://www.expedia.com or http://www.travelocity.com and see what the best prices are, which on a quick check it looks like around $250 ea for flights.

There are only two airlines that serve that route directly (without a connection): American Airlines and United Express. Both are good candidates, it looks like United might be cheaper

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
