Where to Get the Cheapest Flights

I’ve spent alot of my free time recently, far too much of my free time in fact, looking for cheap last minute flights to New York on the net. I won’t go into detail, let’s just say that city has something of mine that i want back or would at least like to visit… Anyhow, bad allusions aside, the site that i found consistently unbeatable for prices was www.opodo.co.uk. I seriously wouldn’t bother visiting any other site. If you do, just beware of ’great deals’ that neglect to include the airport tax in their advertised prices, as this can sometimes double the eventual cost.
It’s a shame that the price of the same airticket can vary so much just depending on where you buy it from. Even search engines that search millions of flights for the best deal for you, can finish miles apart in terms of value. I’ve had an identical experience looking at the same hotel in three different websites and ended up with three very different options. It would be wonderful to see an end to his price ranging, but while inflation persists, it’s up to the internet user and sites like Opodo to put some effort into finding the best deals.
