Long Haul flight deal search

Hi. I want to book a long haul flight...looking at options but probably looking at Havanna.

I want to go there for approx. 4 weeks - although I'm not hung up about exact duration or when. I'd like to avail of the best possilbe air fare on the basis of the above.


I've used skyscanner and amadeus but these don't seem to facilitate a search based on these criteria i.e. an alert that can be set for an outward/inward flight with approx. 4 week duration and the cheapest possible fare.


Anyone have any ideas of what can be used to seek out the best possible deal?

    It's a little more complicated than skyscanner but has far more options once you start playing with it.

    Thanks for that. That appears to do what I'm looking for alright. However, strangely it doesn't seem to like me selecting dublin-> havana. I tried a different destination and it worked for that.

    It is a US-based company and so cannot show anything involving Cuba. You encounter similar problems with most flight search engines, apart from Sky-scanner.

    I guess that explains it away. Thanks for posting.
