Hi All
Does anyone know of a site that lists all of the cheap Europe airlines like Ryan Air, Easyjet, Basiq Air, German Wings, Virgin, ect. I am trying to see who flies where in order to plan my next trip over there (I will only have a couple weeks there). If nobody knows of a site, could you tell me some additional airlines besides what I have listed. I know there is a Polish one that flies into Warsaw and Katowice I think, but I can't remember the name of it. Thanks for the help.

both of those websites were REALLY helpful. I might've just saved 100 pounds on a flight ticket from Manchester to Malaga this summer if I can go, and today that's like saving $200!!!
Thank you!!!

A site I use to find flights (I book from whatever airlines site) is Sky Scanner
It basically does a search of discount airlines based on cities. You can see competing companies prices at the same time if they fly the same route, you can basically put in where you are and it will pop up a list of where you can go directly to and they will show a monthly chart so you can quickly compare dates. I like this site a lot. I check it on a weekly basis just to see if annything really cheap comes up that I can take advantage of for a weekend or something.
I've used easyjet and bmi baby. Bmi baby was at larger/major airports which was nice, but the flight was delayed by an hour but I'd use them again for sure. And the easyjet flight that was to an out of the way airport wasn't bad at all to use. The bus company scheduled their rides according to the flights.

I think you're missing something because I have never actually used it for Germany. When you pick where you're flying from, it'll reload so that only the cities that are possible are to get to are in the destination area. Don't worry about the country in the to field, it'll change itself, the cities should be all different countries though.
Hope that gets you what you need.

Hmm I dont like search engines that dont limit what you search for, in terms of where u are going and where u want to go. I just spent 5 minutes trying to find flights from one country to another and after many searches i determined that they dont offer flights from those two places.
If search engines take too long to use I cant be bothered with them, dont know if im alone on this...
