Really good flight search engine

Post by Tort »

Especially good if you want to go away but not sure where.

www.skyscanner.net

Lets you search from any or all airports to specific airports/countires and change dates etc. Shows you the price for a return flight (including all taxes). Sorts lists cheapest first, some really random bargains to be had if you look a few months ahead.

Searches all the cheapo airlines, seriously a great site (no i dont work for them)

Anyone know any sites that let you enter details for flying in and out of multiple cities before returning?

Skyscanner is brilliant (for short haul - doesn't seem to do such a good job on long haul apart from the popular big cities) but won't let you do this, or if it does I've not spotted how.

http://www.opodo.co.uk allows you to conduct a multi stop flight criteria and is pretty competitive in prices too as it uses all the main airlines (I find the desktop version more user friendly)

Personally I quite like this one - https://matrix.itasoftware.com/ - but I've never tried Opodo so can't compare.

Just put the same search in both and Matrix is coming up £400 more expensive and is missing at least one direct flight, although it has found a route that's about 6 hours shorter on one leg so probably worth it to get me home in less than 30 hours!

I guess the answer is to use different ones and see what comes up with the best routing / price combination, as they clearly don't use the same info (different prices on the same flight in some cases)
