Cheap Flights Notification

I'll be going on holidays for a couple of days in March and as always found ryanair prices to be the cheapest; however having not booked in a long time, I've noticed how much prices have increased (not surprised but sad)

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone is aware of some sort of website that notifies a person of cheapest flights; for example in ebay I can save a search and if I get an item that is in the range of the price I was looking for, I'll get an email notification.

I know ryanair does make offers from time to time and was wondering if there was a tool to get that sort of info, not only from ryanair but also searching through other companies (easyjet jet2 etc.)

PS: i'm aware of skyscanner which is a good website but i didn't seem to find any notification feature.

Thank you

    I've noticed that the website results are not accurate, I believe they put commissions on it.

    I just found that you can put alerts on skyscanner which seems to be more accurate so far.

    I'm going to test and see if the alerts eventually work properly.

    Let's hope they get some better prices for March :)

    Kayak doesn't sell flights, it's a price comparison site only.

    hmm but for some reason the prices aren't accurate on it.

    I've checked a couple of prices and they are 10-20£ more expensive than the original website and skyscanner :/
