Cheap flights using iFly

Ifound an American website called iFly which in turn searches for cheap flights. When I searched a flight, it offered me a British Airways deal for approximately half the price of the official site. What is the catch or is it that by doing it this way I am avoiding the tax levy.

You will not be avoiding the taxes, there could be a couple of reasons.
1) the agent has a number of tickets to sell as IT (inclusive tour) tickets and they have some unsold
2) they are showing the flight prices without the taxes (some US sites do this) and they will be added on at a later screen
I am not sure whether all these agents will allow you to book in $ with a UK card and address, some may insist on a US billing address0
