Chop,

I have often found that booking directly with an airline turns out to be cheaper than looking elsewhere.

Ditto, register your email address with them and wait for a deal to come up.

Lately I'm using Qatar airlines to Cebu as cheap direct as I found over the other links

Thomas cook direct are ok as they bulk buy up some of the popular destinations
Crystall travel occasionally have good bulk buys

Where are you wanting To go to ?

Do they only do economy flights? I can only find the cheap ones on there with no facility to search for other seats.

I'll stick with Ebookers.

PS. Have booked plenty of flights through Flight Centre and they do promise to beat any quote etc etc, but really depends on the staff there. If good, I always book with them, if not so good, as at the moment, I stick with Ebookers.

I dont think there is one site that works every time. As said above - often you can get cheap direct with the Airlines especially if booking early. It pays to monitor prices as when booking our honeymoon the flight prices changed daily.
