Kahuna Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I usually use Kayak or Cheapair or Monondo....for inexpensive tickets but I will give this site a try.... Sometimes the least expensive is to go directly to the airline............... Looking for tickets for late October or early November....... Right now they are super cheap...On Kayak I found tickets from Phoenix to Bangkok for less than $900 flying on JAL.....That is a hard to beat price...... I will give them a try and let you know............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy69 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I been using them for years...I thinks it's the best search site at the moment... BUT... 1. Keep your searches top secretYou’re not crazy for thinking that a flight price has changed after searching it a few times in your web browser. Based on the cookies in your browser, flight prices do increase when a particular route is repeatedly searched, as the site wants to scare you into booking the flight quickly before prices get even higher. Always search for flights in incognito or private browsing mode to see the lowest prices. Pdogg for hotels I thinks this site is very good.. http://www.trivago.co.uk/?iPathId=429&iGeoDistanceItem=0&aDateRange%5Barr%5D=2015-06-25&aDateRange%5Bdep%5D=2015-06-30&iRoomType=1&bIsTotalPrice=false&iViewType=0&bIsSeoPage=false&bIsSitemap=false& 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiamSam Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Skyscanner is interesting Kahuna. I have never purchased with them so far but often look at what they offer. I like the smartness/ease of their service. It is well thought out in my opinion and user friendly. My problem with these sites is they often offer rock bottom cheap fares which usually translate into poor to limited seat selections, little to no air milage accumulation, and long travel/transfer times. I prefer to pay the extra to minimize the indignity of the modern day air travel experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 I usually use Kayak or Cheapair or Monondo....for inexpensive tickets but I will give this site a try.... Sometimes the least expensive is to go directly to the airline............... Sites like Skyscannner and Kayak are just a starting point for me. Think Yanks are more familiar with Kayak while our friends across the pond use Skyscanner more often. I did notice that Skyscanner was very quick while I remember Kayak as being a bit slower. I see what looks good and then check the good ones out with the airline's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke007 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Like Billy I have been using Skyscanner for years to search for Flights, however I always use NetFlights (last 10 years) to book my Flights even if they are a few quid more because the Travel Insurance works out cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnykey Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I looked up my flight dates in November which i have already booked on Thai airways thru my regular travel agent and lo and behold the price was identical. Cheers DK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KendoUK Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I used them to price a recent internal trip to get a rough idea but ended up going separately through the two airlines (NOK and Thai Air) sites instead to book directly and got a better price.

xyzzy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I found lower prices at airline sites on occasion that never show up on Kayak. I use Kayak to see who flys where and when. Then I check other sources. I'll have to give Skyscanner a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
