Just my two cents...

Wife and I did the long distance relationship thing for three years (she moved in last year).

Portland OR. to Los Angeles.

After extensive research we found the four to two week formula, if you are trying to book more than a month in advance they know you have plans and they have you by the short hairs... anything shorter than that they know you are making last minute plans and have you by the short hairs.

The only other thing would be to sign up for emails from your favorite airline(s) and they have "sales" for times of year when flights are slumping.

For instance the flights from LAX to PDX could run from $100 to $350 depending on the time of year.

YMMV

To answer you question more directly my experience was no... there is no magic website... I would search all of them but would always end up booking directly with the airline (Alaska or JetBlue) for the exact same price (we were on FF programs with both those airlines)
