This generally, but there are a couple good rivals to Skyscanner as well. Momondo being one of them.

[dub]

yeah, also there are like better times when to buy tickets, something like weekends being best, then wednesdays (do a google on "when is best to buy airline tickets") - due to when is the most popular times to buy tickets and when they've just been issued and so and so forth

also if you switch up the currency/location that you're purchasing from you can save a bit (assuming you have a decent card/account with no charge on foreign currency purchases), saved about €20 on one of mine and just had to order in German instead of English  (but its easy with Google Translate)

The day where we voted out, lastminute.com system couldn't cope with the currency fluctuations, leading to return flights to Dubai for 81p and Portugal for 42p....

Aeroflot had a problem with the Azerbaijan currency, where you could book any distance in the world for £50.

So fucked!

Are booking.com etc. the best places for hotel prices??

[Da Luv Doc]

I find it the best, Skyscanner isn't bad for hotels either.

[connorwickham]

Just want to jump on a plane from Brum, Tues to Friday on a last minute ting. Any good websites for quick holidays like teletext used to back in the day?

[dub]

lastminute?

yeah booking.com is the best I've found when I've looked for hotels, but you should probably shop around too, my order is usually AirBnb then Booking.com then I'll try an aggregator or 2 but as I'm always looking for the cheapest,  b.com ends up the best for hotels

Safe G but I just mean a website where u don't even have to search cause I don't know where I want to go! Back in the day teletext holidays would just have a deal for say Heathrow to Riga for 150 and you just ring up and book.
