To ensure that the information here is the best possible, please feel free to suggest some sites, and give a little description about what each site is about.

www.skyscanner.net For THE cheapest flights. It searches all the major airlines and picks you out the best deals, but the greatest thing about it is that you can search entire months, or even the entire year and it'll pull you the cheapest flight going. You can also do thing like search all the airports in a given country .etc I got a flight to Katowice, Poland from London for £10, including taxes.
