GET A GOOD DEAL

www.kayak.co.uk
Kayak searches will find airfares between any airport pair, as well as finding flights for multi-city trips. We love the clean site and lack of ads; the fact that you can search for flights from multiple departure and arrival airports; the Fare Buzz tool, which allows you to search for flights when you don’t have a specific place in mind and want to be inspired; the fact that prices includes taxes and fees; the slider tool that allows you to change flight times; the fare history graph.

www.cheapflights.co.uk
One of the original flight comparison and holiday offer sites, Cheapflights searches a number of different airline and travel agency websites. It also has a useful news section listing new routes and seat sales, plus there's some handy travel tips, from ski airport listings to luggage allowances by airlines.

www.skyscanner.net
Searches hundreds of budget, scheduled and charter airlines for the best deals and times to travel on any route. The design is simple and the search is fast. The month-wide date search will generate a graph showing when flights are cheapest - handy if your departure dates are flexible.

www.travelsupermarket.com
Only searches flights to and from the UK but has a good deals database and offers options like round-the-world routings and a multiple airport of origin option.

www.dohop.com
This brilliantly quick flight comparison site includes major airlines, their prices and destinations around the world, and unlike Cheapflights, you can start your journey outside the British Isles.

www.alternativeairlines.com
A favourite of Sunday Times travel expert, Richard Green, this flights site offers one of the most comprehensive searches as well as options like Open Jaw tickets and stopovers.

www.moneysavingexpert.com/flightchecker
Great if you're flexible on dates or destinations and have a fixed budget. This site searches budget airlines and tells you when to fly to get the best prices. Also has advice on getting cheaper package holidays and changing currency. Note however, that some airlines are not included.

www.netflights.com
Hard to beat for long-haul bargain flights, netflights.com is a good place to start your search. It has all major airline offers and an e-mail newsletter that will make you want to drop everything and fly.

FLIGHT ESSENTIALS

www.flightstats.co.uk
An invaluable site for the frequent flier, Flightstats has more information than you could ever need on flight statistics, from average delays on a specified route, to airport security wait times. You can also get the real-time location of any flight.

www.oag.com
An exhaustive database of travel information that has a free trial service before subscription (£99 a year). Frequent travellers would no doubt benefit from the interactive CD information and real-time flight details, but there is plenty on offer on the site without having to log in.

www.airlinequality.com
Surveys and rates airlines around the world on food, service, comfort and so forth, with details on seat pitch (distance between seats), as well as an active forum of frequent flyers.

www.airlinemeals.net
The photos of inflight meals make compulsive viewing on this site - but there's also menu cards, crew meals, behind the scenes of inflight catering and of course, reviews.

www.seatguru.com
Book the seat you prefer after consulting this site, which has seating plans of most of the world’s major airlines. Also check out rivals www.seatplans.com from the Business Traveller stable, which includes links to flight reviews written by journalists and readers.

www.flymycase.com
Flymycase is a courier delivery service that forwards your luggage from your home to your arrival address so you don’t have to lug it to and from the airport, worry about it turning up on the carousel or pay such high excess-baggage charges. Also see www.firstluggage.com and for similar services.
