Holiday pirates, where do you hunt for cheap long haul flights?
 

What are the best sites to catch specials on those? Like EU-India 220 eur return, EU-Thailand 300 Eur return etc. Those are the prices people catch. Is there a good site, twitter, fb feed etc you could recommend where you can follow and grab those deals once they emerge?

SkyScanner.net - Best for Euro deals...

Edit: From the drop down for 'date' select the whole month or even year - If you want those deals you can not be fussy about dates.....

Yeah, dates are a given on deals like that.

I vote skyscanner. It's never let me down. Sometimes you can find some charter seats on redflagdeals.

I will check this out !:thumbsup

anyone have a site for asian deals?

By the way as for skyscanner, I obviously know this site (pretty popular to say the least), but do they update deals live? I know that some airlines announce specials, but those are not being included in skyscanner's price list somehow.
So I was expecting maybe there is some feed where you could get notified once any airline has some special sale.

They cope with that pretty well - When you look at a price it shows when it was last updated and if you are interested then you can click for a 'live' price...

For example -

Click the '4h ago' and it will update it to live.....

I don't know of a feed that would help - Getting the real bargains takes a little work - 25 years ago when I first got the travel bug it was hours+++ on the phone to get a bargain...

Had enver heard of skyscanner.net before, that is a brilliant site, fares are so damn cheap! Thanks

I use momondo.com to check prices.

Same principle as the other similar sites but I like that you can easily see the effect changing dates has on the fares.

I am glad that my thread will help you save money :thumbsup

+1 for Skyscanner. Been using them for a while now.
