Wegolo.com: My new favorite low cost flight-booking engine

by Abha Malpani (RSS feed) on May 16th 2008 at 10:30AM

From next week, my traveling schedule is exciting but ridiculously hectic. Madrid-Seville-Madrid; then Madrid-Dubai-Muscat-Dubai-Madrid, then Bristol-Darlington-London-Madrid, all within the month of June. I'm short on time at each destination so want to fly where ever I can to save time but don't want to break my bank either.

Madrid is not a very well connected city for cheap flights, the only budget airline here is Vueling, but the places it flies to is limited. Also, trying to go to individual budget-airline websites and booking on multiple sites is just a pain in the neck, so after a few hours of being depressed looking at my possible flight bills, I was thrilled when I found Wegolo.com.

It's awesome because it searches 75 airlines that are ONLY budget airlines, to your destination. It gives you all flight options, you can search dates before and after your selected dates, and it completely omits traditional airlines -- so all the options it shows are the cheapest possible. Because of the number of airlines it searches through, it's easy to book multiple flights from multiple destinations without having to get off the site -- it just makes things so much easier!

All information is updated in real-time, there are no hidden costs, all airlines they search have: e-ticketing facilities, you can buy with Visa, MasterCard and American Express, and booking confirmations in English. I'm quite relieved to find this site! Do check it out.

Hi there,
I found another interesting low-cost flight and hotel search engine. It is www.weefly.com.
Its advanced search lets you customize your query in order to find the cheapest weekend, 1 week and 2 week breaks. It also lets you choose the day you want to leave in and return, such as leaving on Thursday or Friday and returning on Sunday or Monday. That's not all, you can also select more than one destination airport at once. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Hi

Those are all good websites but I like www.dohop.com best.

I tested 1 example on all 3 sites, I used Keflavik Iceland to Nice France.

wegelo.com and weefly.com don't find anything

Dohop finds many solutions and at least one with low cost carrier that is Icleand express (kef-stn) and Easyjet (stn-nce)

Hi,

I tried the three websites aforementioned and found http://www.weefly.com to be the clearer and more functional of them all. Of course, if you need routes that
http://www.weefly.com does not cover you can use dohop, but for the most frequent routes I guess WeeFly is the best choice.

Cheers,
Mat

In australia i would recommend www.eflight.com.au
and you can even get access to a real travel agent to talk to if you have any questions about your booking!
