Cheapest Worldwide/asia/africa Flights Sites

[pumpjack]

never have i been able to find a better site than www.skyscanner.net for cheapest best flights in 15 or so years,
ive tried opodo, kayak etc, they are all hard to navigate and do not give open dates and prices per month , i mean you really need specific dates on these sites but skyscanner you can type in the month you want to go and it will give you exact prices for each day of the month. kayak etc are all awfull to work and terrible prices so i do not know how to hell the google lists these sites in the top 10 flight comparison sites but fails to even mention skyscanner.

skyscanner has allways been easiest , best and cheapest everytime !!!!

question is .....does anyone know another site for decent flights ? any bargain seats etc
flights only , not holiday or hotel sites

I often do my research on Expedia but then buy direct from the airline.

In my experience Skyscanner dont provide the places I go to at decent times or planes and often, if necessary, have changeover times that are unrealistic.

You need to remember that budget airlines throughout the world totally detest 'screenscraping' websites, such as Skyscanner, and actively seek to prevent their fares from appearing on such sites. (Budget airlines want you to go via their own websites as they make very little profit, and might even make a loss, on selling seats. They need to get travellers to buy 'extras', such as insurance, accommodation, car hire, etc, which is where they make most of their profits. People buying through screenscraping sites don't get presented with ads for such extras). So fares from airlines such as Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz and their Asian or African counterparts often aren't to be found on screenscraper sites.

So the best way to get the cheapest fares is often to go to the Wikipedia pages of the departure and arrival airports and use them to try to plan a route via a point that's served from both of those airports by budget airlines. Then go to the relevant airlines' websites to see if the conections work out well and, if so, to book directly on those sites. It can be hard (and sometimes frustrating) work but it can end up saving you a lot of money!

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office website holds information about the entry requirements (for UK passport holders) to countries across the world:

For example, the relevant page for Thailand has this information included within it:
"Immigration officials in Thailand may ask you for proof of onward travel (e.g. a return or onward air ticket). You should make all reservations before travelling to Thailand. Some airlines have refused to board passengers without evidence of onward travel"
