I search on cheaptickets for the lowest price and then book directly with the airline. Price is the same and saves admin cost from cheaptickets.

I just Google for flights to see which airlines fly direct and then compare the prices/schedule of those directly with the airlines. In the past I used also those aggregate websites but too much hassle with multiple pop ups and the prices were early cheaper than directly with airlines.
I really wish airlines were banned from changing the price like this. Can you imagine if you walked into Wing On to buy a kettle for $200 and they said "Oh, you're going to buy that? It's now $400". Then you say you won't buy it, but you might buy a bowl for $10, so then they say "We'll give you the kettle now for $250", and you think whew, that's better, but still it just said it was $200! So you decide to get the bowl, and they tell you THAT will be $30. Then you think if you come back tomorrow it'll be $200 and $10 again. Go back the next day and you can get the kettle for $100 but the bowl is sold out.
It's been so bad lately... Can't search for a real price and get all the way through to book it.
The motherfuckers at AirAsia are sneaky pricks. I've been watching their prices to Perth recently, could get a one way on Sept 23rd for $1000, then the last week they had a special "20% off all fares" promotion so I thought you beauty I can book it now but the was price hiked up to $1600 with a 'special' of $1280. The promotion ended at midnight last night. Today the 'normal' prices are back to $1000. Good prices nonetheless, but very sneaky motherfuckers and ignore the promotion scams.
I was able to book return flights+ 5 nights at 3 stars hotels a few times at a few travel agent shops, for the same price of two ways tickets only at various websites.
They are not the large and famous travel agents most HK people have heard of. Their travel packages are cheap.
