Fare finding tools in the internet

Hello everybody!

As I'm sitting here looking for good deals on various routes I thought maybe someone knows a search-agent I don't. So I though I'd list the ones I use (maybe someone will get a tip there?) and see if anyone else has any other good suggestions for us scandinavians. Those of you who consider this much too basic please excuse me but I thought such a list would be good:

For finding various fares on Star Alliance I use Austrian Airlines farefinder where many different fares are listed including the basic rules http://www.aua.com:

The Swedish site Luftgrop http://www.luftgrop.com searches most of the online travel agents in Sweden plus some low-cost carriers. Their selection on the front page is limited but by typing in airports & dates manually in the adressbar of your browser you can search for anything.
A trip from Copenhagen to London between 14:th october and 21:th october looks like this:

Also check out their listing on the lowest prices that people have found to various destinations:

Reseguiden http://www.reseguiden.se lists fares from both online and offline agencies without searching for availability. This service can be found on:
http://www.reseguiden.se/cgi-bin/rg/...eseguiden&nav=

Kelkoo http://www.kelkoo.se also searches for prices but the results are very limited.

For low-cost carriers Skyscanner http://www.skyscanner.net can be very useful.

I hope this has been useful for some people. I chose to post it in this forum since it mainly concerns scandinavian travel agencies and most SAS prices can be found with these tools. So, has anyone got more sites like this?
