You all know about flight comparison sites i\u2019m sure. If not, it\u2019s simple. They\u2019re meta search engines, meaning they search the sites of BA, Etihad, EasyJet, KLM, Quantas, Virgin and all the other airlines. All you need to do is input your dates and your desired location, as well as whether or not you need a return flight, and you\u2019re away, immediately finding the cheapest deal. Right? Wrong. Actually, your favourite price comparison site may not feature flights from every Airline, and if you\u2019re undertaking a multi city trip you might miss out using one and not the other. A good rule of thumb is to check out two or three. Below is a guide to the major players and what they offer, so you can pick the best ones for you!<\/p>\n

Skyscanner.net<\/a><\/p>\n

Skyscanner is our personal favourite. Why? Simple: if you\u2019re willing to be slightly flexible, skyscanner makes it really easy to get a super-cheap flight. If you\u2019re planning ahead, you can see a chart of flight prices for a whole month, letting you plan your holiday around that cheap flight, and leaving you more spending money to enjoy it. It\u2019s also particularly strong when it comes to short-haul, budget airlines, so it\u2019s your go to for city breaks on a budget.<\/p>\n

kayak.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

You know those sneaky baggage costs? Kayak takes them into account, so when you think you\u2019ve got the cheapest deal, you know you have, and you\u2019re not about to be stung by a gold plated baggage handling fee. It has the option to search + or \u2013 3 days also, providing some of the flexibility of skyscanner.<\/p>\n

travelsupermarket.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Travel Supermarket doesn\u2019t quite have the useful bells and whistles of the two above, but it really has the basics down. Crucially, it has a wider coverage, comparing flights from some of the airlines the others don\u2019t, Jet2 and Thomson included. This one provides a good second opinion, and can still get you a cheap deal.<\/p>\n

travelocity.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Travelocity is slightly lesser known, but makes up for its lack of flexibility by also searching hotels, cars, cruises, and even things to do when you\u2019ve reached your destination. Travelocity also has good coverage when it comes to long haul flights, so could well be your best option for that family holiday somewhere exotic.
