Low-airfare sites seem to proliferate faster than red tide in a summer ocean. A new entry in a crowded field is Vayama.com.

It focuses on international flights, offering "lowest prices and best schedule options," plus fares "never previously available online," according to its site.

What's hot: I liked the "deals" section, where you can enter your departure airport and get a list of deals going to various parts of the world.

I chose L.A., got back 24 deals, including one to Bangalore, India, where I have family, on Malaysia Airlines for $800, and Beijing for $625 on Air Canada.

Vayama has an easy-to-use calendar and spells out many of the restrictions in pop-up windows.

What's not: That $800? i couldn't get it. I randomly tried three dates in August, November and October, and the lowest fare returned to me was $930 plus $364.40 in taxes on Malaysia for an Aug. 30 departure from LAX.

Where am I?

Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up.
