In 2001 the Easy group has started a very internet-unfriendly policy of claiming *any* domain that *contains* easy in its wording. I do therefore no longer encourage you to visit their site, let alone using their services. For more info go to easyprotest.com Another cheap airline is Easyjet. You get £1 off if you book via the net.

If you want to do some more shopping around for the best fare, try Travel Cuts, Bridge the World, or Check In Travel.

Other places that promise to get you cheap flights are Flightbookers, Worldwide Journeys, and the Air Travel Advisory Bureau (what a name!)
