Why is flight booking such a PITA nowadays?!

This is what you get when you rely on sites like Skyscanner. Google flights (or the underlying ITA matrix) doesn't play any tricks.

And only a mad fool would book with an agent rather than direct with an airline.

Don't agree plenty of the old "bucket seat" type agents still exist - save £200 each booking that way rather than direct with Virgin to SFO, but this year cheapest was direct with AF to ACC.

All depends on where you are going and what you want to do. but then I also enjoy sorting the booking nearly as much as the holiday itself. (sad i know)
