Default Cheap Airplane Tickets

Anyone know the best place for cheap airline tickets? The GF and I are planning a trip to Europe and looking to land/leave in any one of Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin, or Prague. Cheaptickets.com seems to be the best so far...any other suggestions? Thanks!

You can try skyscanner.net... not sure if it is better or worse than the one you used though.

There is also travelsupermarket.com... it's a British site I think so not sure if it works for Canada.

If you go to www.kayak.co.uk you can get more airlines that only fly within Europe. Ie. Ryan air etc..

For those of you buying the cheap tickets, be sure to pay with your credit card.

That way if the airline goes under you can at least be assured of getting your money back from the CC company.

Just a remember a couple of other ones if you are planning on flying within Europe.

Jet2.com; wizzair.com; flyglobespan.com (flies from Calgary/Toronto)

Those are all individual airlines which to the best of my knowledge don't usually get included in sites like kayak.com search. It has been about a year since I've checked though so that might have changed.

Of the 3 I have only flown jet2.com ... It was very cheap. That is probably the only thing it had going for it. When the plane took off (2hours late) water started dripping on the woman beside me. More specifically water started dripping on the head of the baby she had in her lap. We looked up and there was a huge crack in one of the panels that surround the inside of the fuselage.

We arrived in one piece though.. a little bit wet but still alive. I would fly them again... but that has more to do with the fact I am dirt poor than them being a good airline.
