Search engines

  • Skyscanner is a great way for finding cheap flights. Choose "whole month" or even "whole year" for this to work properly.
  • AZair.com is a specialized low-cost search engine. It can combine diff. carriers (up to 3 changes), search by region (from: Scandinavia, to: Mediterranean), search in long time windows (June-October), has data form 45+ LCCs (mostly European and Middle-eastern), works fast
  • Azuon is Windows program that has many low-cost airlines in its database such as Ryanair, Norwegian, Wizzair, AirAsia and many more.
  • ITA's Matrix lets you search in advanced ways.
  • Drungli is very simple search tool for flights in EU, but it covers some cheaper airlines (eg. Ryanair).
  • Kayak
  • Hopper Flight research tools.

  • JetMap shows routes for low cost airlines but doesn't have a search. Especially good for European connections; outside Europe it's not always up to date. See airliners list
