Chech British Airways website, Singapore Airlines website etc, just fill in the dates of depature etc and you will get a price.

They will always be cheaper than Trailfinders.
I used Trailfinders once, they were v good, I knew at the time that I could of got the same flights for cheaper if I just booked directly from the airlines, but as I was making a booking for the next day flights, I played safe and went to Trailfinders to make the booking(just in case the next day flights were cancelled(on the day), or long delays to interupt connecting flights etc.

have a look on www.kayak.com

if your dates are flexible, you can tell the search to look a few days before and after the date you've selected for the best deals. then just go straight to the airline site and book your flight.

I used Austravel as I wanted to use a travel agent - my flights were a bit complicated.

They were very good and I got a good price too.

Hi there, I recently used jetabroad.com to book flights to Australia for a friend. Their prices were very competitive.

Best of luck.

Is there flight centre in Ireland? I know they have UK branches. I got return flights to London with Emirates for $2000 with them recently which was a very good deal. I think that's about €900.

Cheers, got a suggested itinerary from them yesterday and each of the suggested flights are listed so I can price them on the airline websites myself. I think for piece of mind we'll go through an agent though. They quoted us accommodation prices too. Crazy prices! I'll definitely do better myself online. Thanks.
