Just wondering what search engines everyone uses for flights, particulary trans-Atlantic. Going over the pond in March for a ski and I cant use my usual suspects as its not for school or my former work.
Will also be moving to Europe in June for a few months and would like to save some of my grant money that i set aside for the flight...
Kayak.com has yeilded some decent results....

Kayak is usually my go to. Once I find something I just check all the prices and buy the cheapest. So I guess I just use them all.

www.kayak.com to gauge and then orbitz/hotwire
I resolve PC issues remotely. Need to get rid of all that pr0n you downloaded on your work laptop? Or did you just get a ton of viruses from searching for "geriatic midget sex"? Either way I can fix them. PM Me for maggot prices.

airline websites for my desired routing - they'll have prices that don't appear on any of the above.

I'll use Kayak.com to gauge the value of a flight, and will then (if I can afford to be flexible) go make a bid on Priceline that's 40% lower. If I get it, great, if not - no harm no foul.

Thanks guys! Found some great prices. Just need to nail down dates with the buddy that is going with me... Hopefully a good TR will come out of this, I never fail to have a great time skiing there.

I usually use sidestep, but I just ran a search using kayak, and it missed way too many flights, and the cheapest ticket was $150 more than sidestep found. I know one search is not a valid comparison, but I would go with sidestep, and then check the airline site directly.
