The definitive website for finding flights.

Is there an agreed absolutely best website for building a flight itinerary?

Europe focus this time..

Thanks....

Edit:

God sake i typed booking but I mean just finding flights. I usually always book direct to the airline incase of BS.

Thx if a mod can edit if CBA Ty.

I don't think so. Google Flights + SkyScanner is usually enough for me though.

Skyscanner usually for me. But then go direct to the airline to book in most cases.

Google Flights for ease of use.
ITA Matrix if you want to be complex.

Then book direct.

That's pretty unanimous

Same. Been messed around a few times with the agencies and for the money saving, which isn't a great deal as a % of your total trip, it's just not worth the hassle.

I recently used Skyscanner, Kayak and ITA Matrix for a trip later this year. All 3 were very useful.

Skyscanner here also. Although I have experienced the price being bumped up while searching :rolleyes:

Skyscanner then go direct for me

Go direct to airline website.

I quite like Momondo. It's given me a few options that Skyscanner hasn't in the past.

Skyscanner for me.

Before I discovered that site I was paying the airline direct, sometimes paying over £1200 to the US. On Skyscanner the same flight was about £400.

Not sure what's going on with BA. Been keeping an eye on flights for South Africa through the exec club as we're trying to either use Avios or a Companion Voucher, but for the dates - there's nothing. So then I tried search BA's normal website with no points/vouchers, still nothing. Then I tried Seat Spy - nothing. And finally Skyscanner - suddenly there are flights and it even let me essentially search within BA's systems through Skyscanner showing multiple flights.

Skyscanner, double check with kayak. Then go direct.

After a horrendous experience with edreams I'll never go third party again.

The potential saving from these 3rd parties is just not worth the stress

Agreed, they had their days but are just getting worse. And when something goes wrong, no one wants to take responsibility.
