Skyscanner
I was looking for a site to find cheap intra-Europe air fares and a Google search got me this site - http://www.skyscanner.net/ I searched the term Skyscanner on Miles Buzz and Mileage Run and got no results. I'll probably get bombarded by other FTers saying this has been mentioned many times but this is the first time I've seen it. It was very useful to me so I thought I'd share it. It let me find a good way to tie together 2 MRs cheaply. Have others found this site to provide accurate and timely information?

I'll move this over to TravelBuzz for discussion of individual travel web sites, as this is not specific to a Mileage Run.

Actually, it looks promising. I'd never seen it either. Thanks.
Don't let the usual "How come you didn't search?" comments turn you off. While that's acceptable to some, your post illustrates how many people are getting sensitive to the constant carping. Again, thanks.

You're welcome, SST, and thanks for the words of encouragement. While I did search it as stated I never thought to search Travel Buzz as well. When the Mileage Run moderator moved my post over here I did so. Turns out Skyscanner does turn up 4 times on a Travel Buzz search but not lately. I would be more embarassed for not being thorough were it not for your kind words. One can get a bit leery of posting "new" items on FT these days as a few folks get very upset if the item ever appeared previously in any form. In any event, since Skyscanner is "new" and useful to at least one FT colleague, that is all I was trying to accomplish.

I was aware of Skyscanner, and I'm pretty sure it was from a previous post that linked to it here on FlyerTalk. But the responses above show that even a re-posting of previously-posted information can still help some people who missed it the first time and may not know to search, or be able to find it if they do search.
