Although I've not had any troubles myself, often the budget airlines don't get priority on the runways so if there's a log-jam of planes waiting to take off or any sort of backlog, the budget airlines are the first to get cut or sent to the "back of the line". However like I said, (knock on wood) I've not had any troubles! @Terri – Reliability of cheap flights is, well, unreliable!

We want to go to the most exotic place we can go on the cheap-we only need to pay for airfare. Do you know of any search engines that can help us narrow down our search? Hopefully it includes the best windows of time to visit these places. We are flying from Seattle, and are looking at different caribbean options. We are open to anything.

They have their site in at least 6 languages already. oh and and I think RyanAir’s website will change its language depending on two things, which country you’re accessing it from, and sometimes, trying to be clever, the departure city you’re inputting.

It's best to book your ticket mid week from Tuesday to Thursday and always buy in advance, you can save hundreds if not thousands on some flights. Looking into a flight to Sweden, I was quoted around 3000$, if I booked the trip in another season in advance it was down to less then 1000$.
