For THE cheapest flights. It searches all the major airlines and picks you out the best deals, but
the greatest thing about it is that you can search entire months, or even the entire year and it'll
pull you the cheapest flight going.

You can also do thing like search all the airports in a given country .etc

I got a flight to Katowice, Poland from London for £10, including taxes.
