Need to fly out on a specific flight on a specific date.  I've knocked the price down a bit with the throw away trick, but tix are still very expensive.  I now have an agent trying to find a better deal, and I've been booking and cancelling the tix as I find better deals and to extend my 24 hour hold.

At what point will Orbitz protest?  I've done it like 5x so far.  Should I be trying to keep a hold by using other travel sites as well?  Which others are recommended.

Thanks for all the advice!
