Where are you wanting to fly to and from would be a good start? That said, skyscanner.net is good if you're flexible with dates as it allows you to view flight prices for each day of a given month so you can pick the cheapest available.

I've searched everywhere now.

London or Birmingham to Charlotte USA.
£1330 for me and the mrs. Last week of June for 2 weeks. Can get it a £300 cheaper if we go a week earlier but I'd like her to be with her family on her bday.

Just been doing the same kind of thing. Googled cheap flights and followed from there. Best deal we found however was not through the websites we found this way but was instead found by looking on the British Airways site. Have just booked from Edinburgh to Seattle (via Heathrow) and back for £1206

Some of the cheap offers looked good but when you looked at them they were crap eg £100 pounds less than what we paid but 2 stops and a total journey time of 60 hours (whereas ours is under 15, and that could be less if we wanted to run between connections)

The other one we didnt like was KLMs own website. Found flights and times etc, entered card details only for it to come back with " sorry there are no seats at this price left, do you want to continue at £200 more". We tried their site on 3 consecutive days only to have the same shit each time.

Yeh we just booked the £1330 flights through netflights and it's direct with al th basics. Can get it a tad cheaper but the sites they are off have bad reviews.

Cheers chris.

But if I put in the exact dates we have now decided and for direct flights it's just bounced to £680 each.
