    Recently I found myself searching through the different budget airlines
    to find a route from A to B.
    I couldn't find any search engine that would do it for me,
    so I done up my own.
    It's pretty primitave but the functionality is there.
    http://www.raymondquinn.com/flight.html
    I also need to add more airlines databases (help ?)
    If I it proves popular I might dress it up and stick it on it's own domain

    I'm not aware of a similar search engine.. anyone else ?
    Any feedback welcome..

    Thanks

    yeah, something like that, only Europe wide..
    There's probably a site already out there,.. I don't want to waste my time if there is..

    EDIT: Ah I see they do Europe Wide..
    But they only deal in direct flights... no via routes

    That's because most budget flights don't operate "via" routes. Each segment is treated as a seperate entity and you use a budget carrier to connect at your own risk.

    True, none of the 'real' budget airline do,
    but assuming yer willing to take the risk,
    there's often several routes, to take..
    eg: There are 13 routes between Budapest(where I am) and Shannon
    (neglecting connection times)
    I was previously aware of 4..
