Travel: The 10 best flight search websites — tried and tested

To find out, I tested 10 leading flight search and booking sites against a range of journeys, including domestic flights within the UK, short-haul hops to Europe, and longer trips to the USA, Australia, and China. To shake things up, an internal US flight was thrown into the mix, along with Shanghai to Sydney, and then — for those sites capable of it — a couple of multi-city breaks.

Unfortunately, no website consistently has the lowest prices. Most of the popular OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) are usually in the same ballpark for the price, but not all offer the same benefits or search functionality.

Here’s why these 10 are the best flight booking sites and meta search options out there, and the best defining feature of each. Since it’s impossible to know which site will provide the best price for your particular trip, you should compare fares from a few sources before you book.
