Again treading on Ed's usual stomping ground...

Since we're travelling by air quite a bit between countries, I've done a ton of research on search engines, etc.  The two that are the most useful for budget carriers over here are the confusingly named Momondo & Mobbisimo.  They both pull flights from the smaller intra-regional carriers, which are often as cheap as ground transportation; Molly suggests a quick check of safety records before purchase.  Having now done this, I'm less than plussed to know that not 2 but 3 of the flights we've taken were on major airlines that rank in the bottom 5 for safety (oh hai, China?  plz to stay in the air all the way to destination, kay?).  Incidentally, we're here, so 10 points.

Oh, but the reason for my post.  Has everyone already heard of the site (which seriously sounds like it should have appeared first on the Simpsons) CHEAPOAIR.COM?  Seemingly undercuts the other major sites by a not-laughable number of dollars.  We enjoy this.
