Default Flight booking strategies?

OK, for all of you "in-the-know" or those just learning... any secrets for getting the best fares for tickets to those perfect club locations?

Yapta.com is a great tool for tracking ticket prices in both the before and after stages.

Does anyone else have a great tip or advice to share?

ITA is great, especially for international travel; often finds fares missed by other sites, but you have to go elsewhere to actually book:
ITA Software: Login

If you're really into it, ExpertFlyer.com - Empowering the Frequent Flyer gives you access to details on the actual fare bucket availability, including award & upgrade seats (on some airlines), but it is a paid subscription...

On a similar note, I finally got around to reading my March issue of Condé Nast Traveler and there was a section entitled "The Ultimate Guide to Travel Web Sites" that lists some great sites to bookmark, if you haven't already found them!
