In reply to maitravelsite. You are right, SkyScanner is a very good resource too, listing almost all airlines. Rarely I found airlines that they don't show within the results.

Awesome Blog.
Great reading & tips.
I also travel fairly often…
& your right…Flights & Accomadation are costly.
But then a friend on Facebook suggested a site to me…
http://holiday-scout.net
which offers…Flights…Accomadation…& Car Rentals.
It’s easy & simple to navigate…
& almost always I find great deals on there..!
Another site to consider while searching.
Enjoy !!

Unfortunately not all the low cost airlines are present in the flight search engines you presented. Some of them (like Ryanair – the biggest low cost airline in Europe) do not agree paying commissions to third parties, so are not present in their search results.
There are other sites (like http://www.lowcostroutes.com/ and WhichBudget) that offer the full list of low cost airlines flying on any route, so you may use them to find which are all your options!

I love using Kayak for cheap tickets. farecast.com is also great to view the prediction on plane tickets and whether or not they’ll go drop or raise in price. Have you found luck buying on a Monday or Tuesday?

I have heard that searching late at night when demand is not as high may result in being able to find lower fares. A lot of people search around lunch time and after dinner which pushes the prices higher. I read about this on another site, and am going to give it a try.

FlyerTalk is a good starting point too, though you’ll have to read through the Wiki and FAQ to get a handle on the jargon. If you’re flying small domestic carriers in developing countries, you might have to give your hotel a call and see if they have a promotion/deal — occasionally this will beat the price you pay “overseas” as a tourist

In reply to Richard@Cheap Flights. Yup. Those eraly morning flights are usually cheaper, good point. And Ryanair is extremely cheap if you don't check luggage as you mention.

These are some good tips to get cheap flights. Other tips include being flexible on the day of the week or time of day you travel. Flying at a less desirable time such as late at night or early morning can save you a lot. Also, if you can be flexible on the airline and maybe travel with hand luggage only you may save more with some low cost airlines.
