3. JetRadar.com

The air travel industry is seeing tough competition lately, which has led several airlines to confine their best deals into their own corporate sites and/or third-party sites they have contracts with, as opposed to the previous practice of pitching them to price-comparison websites where their potential sales can easily be snatched away by competing carriers. This consequently forces the would-be traveler to go from one flight site to another to clinch that deal that suits him best, time-consuming and a little too taxing, to say the least.

JetRadar.com is a highly integrated search engine that methodically combs through 700+ different airlines and hundreds more flight sites to come up with the cheapest and best airfare promotional deals out there, making the data easily available to the public in a single site. This, therefore, greatly reduces the energy and time needed to find that one airfare deal that satisfies your travel considerations.
