www.kayak.co.uk
Kayak searches will find airfares between any airport pair, as well as finding flights for multi-city trips. We love the clean site and lack of ads; the fact that you can search for flights from multiple departure and arrival airports; the Buzz tool, which allows you to search for flights when you don’t have a specific place in mind and want to be inspired; the fact that prices includes taxes and fees; the slider tool that allows you to change flight times; the fare history graph.

www.cheapflights.co.uk
One of the original flight comparison and holiday offer sites, Cheapflights searches a number of different airline and travel agency websites, but also has a useful news section listing new routes and seat sales.

www.seatguru.com
Book the seat you prefer after consulting this site, which has seating plans of most of the world’s major airlines.

www.dohop.com
Now part-owned Cheapflights, but still operating independently from its parent, this brilliantly quick flight comparison site includes major airlines, their prices and destinations around the world, and unlike Cheapflights, you can start your journey outside the British Isles. Snapping on its heels is www.foundem.com, which has a flight search that is similar in look and feel to SideStep.

www.skyscanner.net
Searches hundreds of budget, scheduled and charter airlines for the best deals and times to travel on any route. The design is basic, but the search is fast and the month-wide date search will generate a graph showing when flights are cheapest - handy if your departure dates are flexible.

www.moneysavingexpert.com/flightchecker
Searches budget airlines and tells you when to fly to get the best prices. Also has advice on getting cheaper package holidays and changing currency. Note however, that some airlines are not included, and prices don't include tax, which can add up to £50 onto the cost of a return flight.

www.airlinequality.com
Surveys and rates airlines around the world on food, service, comfort and so forth, with details on seat pitch (distance between seats), as well as an active forum of frequent flyers.

www.flightstats.com
Flightstats has more information than you could ever need on flight statistics, from average delays on a specified route, to airport security wait times; but there are some disgruntled passengers and data demons who obviously contribute extensively this site.

www.airline-network.co.uk
Hard to beat for long-haul bargain flights, Airline Network has all major airline offers and an e-mail newsletter that will make you want to drop everything and fly.

www.flymycase.com
Flymycase is a courier delivery service that forwards your luggage from your home to your arrival address so you don’t have to lug it to and from the airport, worry about it turning up on the carousel or pay such high excess-baggage charges. Also see www.firstluggage.com and for similar services.

www.oag.com
An exhaustive database of travel information that has a free trial service before subscription (£99 a year). Frequent travellers would no doubt benefit from the interactive CD information and real-time flight details, but there is plenty on offer on the site without having to log in.

Remember to check out flight deals through the airports directly - see links to Orlando's airport in the flight section.
