The Cheapest Time To Fly "To" and "With"?

Maybe I have done this before and if I have I apologise.

Is there a website or search engine that is well suited to searching on the cheapest time to fly to a given country/region/airport with a given airline or FF program? ..... Or even the cheapest flights in a 12 month period.

I know which country I want to fly to, I have arrival airport preferences, but am happy to fly anytime within a 12 month period, but as I would like to use the FF benefits I have a preference for the carrier.

Any ideas? :)

    Use the airline's own website?

    The issue there is that they will give typical results of +/- X days but not a 12 month overview.

    Put dates in and then click on 'next week'.

    try skyscanner and a year view
  • Skyscanner. Generally cheapest FF miles = cheapest cash price.

    Skyscanner in year view for a general cheap search. Then you can get more specific with travelocity or lastminute.com.
    Although prices can be erratic and go up and down all year
    I assume you want the FF status benefits rather than booking a miles flight. Award flight availability is generally just a hard slog.

    Yes, just the benefits... I did look at sky scanner but on a mobile device which wasn't that clever, so I will revisit on a laptop.
