For cheap flights who do you recommend?

As the title says really. Not just in terms of price but also ok service and no problems with booking eg turning up to find its not genuine is what i dread most. been hearing about opodo etc but really just 3rd or more hand so would love people's views on this. I'd be travelling from scotland (pref Glasgow but edinburgh also poss) to Milan last weekend in august for a week's visit.

  • I've flown with easyjet three times in the past 5 months are they've been great every time.
    I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be

    Ome thing I discovered recently is to not to discount the regular scheduled 'flag' carriers too soon when shopping for deals.

    For example, I managed to book myself a flight Gatwick to Budapest in August for £130 total with Malev on one of their "Hot Deals", which was £10-£20 cheaper than the best "no frills" price offered by Easyjet and Wizzair before all the 'extras' like booking fees, hold luggage and card charges.:j

    If you're planning far enough in advance, checking with the 'national' airlines and their alliance/code-share partners can sometimes yield surprises.

    I've flown easyjet and ryanair and given the choice of the two, i'd go for easyjet every time (not saying there isn't better out there!)
    Excuse any mis-spelt replies, there's probably a cat sat on the keyboard
