Anyone know of any longhaul specialists based in ireland apart from world travel centre (particularly for S.E.Asia flights)

www.clubtravel.ie -good for longhaul searches

Ummm! Ryanair.com? (or did i miss it?)

you all missed the best one for travel out of ireland. I have used www.a1fares.ie many times, the flights, the service,the knowledge ,and the prices. are the best. I travelled Cork to Bangkok recently, one stop,640euro + 4 euro to express the tickets to me.
www.a1fares.ie

flight sites

www.Airstop.be
is a belgian site that you can use to price more complex flights (ie different start and finish points).

Another Irish site is www.sayit.ie

Long Haul/RTW

www.emirates.com/
www.airtreks.com/

Other sites

good consolidated airfares site: www.airtravelcenter.com/indexb.html

good listing of most air companies web sites: [broken link removed]

Price but no booking

The following tools find the best prices (so they claim) but does not allow booking.

I use it quite reguarly to tell my Travelagent what to get me:

The problem with no-frills airlines is they offer cheap flights, but you’ve got to find them. They’re hidden amongst many more expensive ones. Yet there’s an easy way to beat this.

Re: Ryanair cheap flight checker

www.skyscanner.net/ does the same thing (and includes lot more airlines than Ryanair) .. both are certainly good .. though caution is advised as airlines can change prices faster than these sites change them.

Fair play! Both sites are great.

But Skyscanner does not cover airports in the Republic.

Skyscanner

It's easy to miss but on the homepage beside the Departure airport field there's a smaller field for country - you need to change that to see non-UK departure points

Re: Skyscanner

Came across www.cheapflights.co.uk/ too. Which seems quite good. Don’t know if they cover the budget airlines though.

low-cost airlines

For flights or holidays.

www.ferrisflights.com

Searches multiple angencies like the others but also allows you to search a date range for flights. It's pretty quick too.

( belfast to prague/barcelona/leeds)
dublin direct to istanbul from april

Have just added www.momondo.com to original list. AFAIK its fairly new and is for short-haul flights, something similar to www.skyscanner.net

www.orbitz.com is very competitive especially for transatlantic flights. Got a great deal on flights to the West Coast USA on BA via LHR - was €150 cheaper than booking on BA's own site.

Another site which I find very good is www.sidestep.com

www.kayak.com is also good.
