With regard to the "adoption fares" on some airlines, be aware that they may NOT be the lowest available fares. Very often, the percentage discount that is quoted is off the highest price a seat sells for, not off the sale price that you see on the Internet. Very often, the sale price that you see on the Internet is lower.

On the other hand, some adoption fares may be "unrestricted", meaning that you can change your flight dates without penalty if your plans change -- and plans DO change in adoption travel. Most Internet fares have significant restrictions -- such as a fee of $150 for changing a date or time of travel, and no refund if you cancel.
