Cheap intercontinental flights

I need to fly intercontinentally soon, and on every website I've checked (the usual: expedia, travelocity, etc.) the prices are really expensive. Does anybody know of a place to get really good deals on long-distance flights? Any help would be much appreciated!

Normally I wouldn't bump my own thread after a couple hours, but I'm hoping to get some info ASAP.

some time ago i would have recommended the "travel" section at yahoo.com... but yahoo is just doing the searches through expedia now... basically if expedia doesn't seem to find anything, there is not much i can tell you... if you do happen to find a flight for a reasonable price on any site, i would purchase that flight directly from the airlines webpage... that should save you a few extra bucks...

Have you seen what the pilots of those bargain companies have to go through? The hours they work for chump change? No way would I fly over an ocean on the cheapest flight I could find.
No. Way.

I hear ya, I haven't seen what they go through and never thought about it. But the fact remains I need to go over an ocean and can't afford to spend $1,000 to do it.

Ya I found a round-trip flight to Europe for 650$ on Orbitz (better than the 1000$ I saw almost everywhere else) a few weeks ago. Also, do your ticket searching on Tuesday nights, I have heard that is when they are the cheapest.
Also: http://www.kayak.com/ will search with multiple services at the same time.

Bing Flights is your best bet. Trust me, I fly a lot.
They compare prices from tons of different websites and companies, and the user-interface on the website is slick and intuitive. Additionally, they have "best time to buy" indicators.

just because a flight is cheap, doesn't mean it's a bargain airline. you can find pretty good offers from good renowned airlines as well... but yeah, you are right when you say beware of the bargain companies...

I've seen some good deals on there.
Also Switch up the airports, and airlines. It can make a huge difference which airport you go to. Try looking up flights from smaller ones around your area if it's possible!
