Thanks. It looks like a complete listing of airkline choices.

I'm booking through EasyJet and BMI this week for my trip from Spain to Scotland.

I use www.skyscanner.net because it basically shows me every fare for every trip you need - sometimes up to 30 fares for one day. That's how I know what sites to use. Much faster.

Last June I flew Air Berlin from Munich to Cote d'Azure round trip and one way to Barcelona. I would definately recommend them. I was concerned because of their great rates, but I would rate the experience better than average.

Skyscanner is also recommended on Rick Steves' site.

Great site....Mods, if you can, go ahead and modify the initial post to include skyscanner.net (Courtesy of Palermo).....Perhaps a sticky as well...

Sorry to bump this thread, I just don't want to hit the panic yet.

I booked a flight on AirBerlin to Rome for a side trip during the WC.
I did one way as I would be coming back to a different airport in Germany.

So I go to book my return flight and egads...
There are not return flights listed.

Does anyone know if maybe AB will just list more flights as we get closer to June?

Thanks for this, it helps a ton, but what about French airlines? I was thinking of trying to fly into France and take a train over if it was cheaper, it would be easiest cause I speak French.

Try this link: http://www.flylowcostairlines.org/index.php

Type in your pair of cities and it sorts out the cheap airlines that fly the route.

They may not be flying every day. Ryanair also flies from Rome to FRA, but they only fly a couple of days a week. Try http://www.skyscanner.net for other flight options.
