What sites do people use to book flights?

I'm wanting quotes for flights to Prague next year, from either Newcastle, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, or Manchester Airpots.

There are so many sites though, just wondered if anyone found one or two fantastic compared to others?

I typically use either the airline's own website or expedia.

I recall the last flight I booked some flights were not available on expedia but were via the airline's own site, so I booked through there. I don't think there was much difference in cost.

Its maybe common to all websites, but I've noticed on expedia that the flight prices can fluctuate almost daily.

It seems to be worth hanging on for a while to see what happens to them over the course of a few weeks so that you dont pay over the odds.

Another vote for Skyscanner:

Cheap flights: compare prices, find airline tickets

If you are going somewhere that EasyJet/Ryanair fly to then this is good (when it works): Budget Airline FlightChecker tells you when to go for the cheapest price: MoneySavingExpert.com
