Is there a website I can use to match an incoming easyJet flight to an outgoing ryanair flight?

Say I fly into London Luton with easyJet and want to fly somewhere in Europe asap with ryanair, what's the best way to find suitable flights?

Trying to find a match on both websites individually is not easy, usually there is no "match" you may have to wait up to 9 hours before the ryanair flight etc. But often there's no flight on desired day either.

So is there a way to do this quickly?

    A comparison site might work if you order flights by time, skyscanner possibly. Obviously far fewer flights now so it may be that there isn't anything convenient.

    Remember that as you will be buying two separate flights there will be no liability if one is delayed/cancelled and you miss your connection. Will you have hold luggage or just handluggage?

    Kayak, Skyscanner etc will offer hack fares, you can deselect the direct flights option and set a maximum layover you want if timings are more important than price.

    Yeh the maximum layover is what I need and price. I'm looking on going micro budget at last minute for a few days anywhere in Europe for under say £50 it won't be till next year now though probably after July.
    The problem with Skyscanner is they will add in a BA or KLM flight to keep connecting times down and this bumps the price way up. I don't mind having to wait say 15 hours for a cheaper flight with say easyJet or ryanair but doesn't seem to be obvious how to set to use only these two airlines.

    Do a search on Kiwi.com for possible flight connections. Obviously do not book with them but go directly to the airlines involved.

    Yeh that's a good idea. Cheers.

    So set the maximium layover as 15 hours or whatever and sort by price. Airlines and airline groups can be selected from the extended filters down the side however why do this? There are times when the budget carriers arent the cheapest (I've been on BA flights that were substantially cheaper than Easyjet at the time) plus you can then see that by spending £10 more you cut your layover from 15 hours to 3 and that extra £10 is probably less than what you'd spend trying to kill 12 hours.
