    Came across this while searching for flights, might be of use to some. Some page that searches for cheap flights worldwide from Ireland (or anywhere).

    Always worth checking the original airline's website than wherever it suggests sending you, some are mostly unscrapable and they get their data from travel agents who may not be cheaper than the airline (although they can be).

    Also, if you get an exceptional price off e-dreams via it; you won't get your ticket realistically, just a refund closer to the flight date.

    No offence OP but I would have thought Sky Scanner was pretty common knowledge at this stage?

    I've been using it for years anyway.

    Coincidentally very similar sentence structure to this other bargain alert posted on the forum! Not saying anything looks suspicious, just very coincidental considering the wording and being posted 2 minutes apart by 2 different user!

    Nope, I'm not saying anything malicious as there simply is nothing malicious about it, it's just an interesting coincidence :)

    User snubbleste is a snide smartarse. Every now and again he posts this type of thread looking for an argument and attention.

    Most (80%?) of his bargain alert posts(hundreds) are really unhelpful posts which do nothing but encourage other posters not to post here

    He thinks he some kind of travel guru / hero. Hero behind keyboard sort of chap

    Wouldn't want to infer anything sinister, but the similarities are striking.

    Think I'll go buy a lotto ticket.

    There are often sites mentioned again and again, which can be handy for many. There's loads of sites on this forum I hadn't heard of before, that many had been using for a long time. Loads that had been posted before too, but slipped down a couple of pages before users login and miss them.

    Clearly not for googleflights. The thread has got double the views compared to this one has, the Op has been thanked and their has been no posts about the poster unlike this thread.

    Change your attitude or take a holiday from bargain alerts.
