Any Similar Sites to OzBargain for Flights within Europe?

Hey all,

I've got a one-way ticket to Greece in July, and am gonna do some backpacking around Europe for about 3 months; I'm totally flexible about where I go and when, so I'm kind of hoping that there's a site somewhere out there like OzBargain where I can login everyday to check what random cheap flights are available that day.

Naturally, the flights posted on this site are pretty much all departing in Australia, which are of course irrelevant for me right now - so I was wondering whether there's an online forum or app out there that can send me any updates or notifications about random/crazy sales done by Ryanair or some similar budget European airline.

Even sites that aren't specific to Europe, but just international flights in general would be sweet. Would really appreciate any suggestions, many thanks in advance!

    Having lived in Europe for a few years, nothing beats Skyscanner as it takes into consideration all the budget airlines, Ryanair, ezyjet, wizz air otherwise if you really want to do the backpacking Flixbus/megabus would be another as its dirt cheap.

    Personally I prefer Kayak, but Skyscanner and Mondo are good too. They're basically just reskinned versions of each other anyway…

    Other tips off the top of my head.

    • mix in some different destinations. You'll find in the summer that flights between popular countries - eg Greece to Portugal - will be expensive, because it will be mostly populated by tourists. Often if you go via third cities in other countries you can get way better deals, plus see more of the continent :)

    • don't automatically assume Ryanair/EasyJet are the cheapest. Using Skyscanner or Kayak, can often find carriers such as KLM, Air France, Lufthansa at very competitive prices with luggage etc.

    • look at the exact airport you're flying in to. Sometimes a flight with Ryanair will be way cheaper but you end up flying in to a cities secondary airport - one that isn't remotely close to where you want to go. That cheap flight can start to look pretty pricey once you factor in transportation on the ground.
