I booked my overseas flights with Hipmunk and it's fantastic, but there is a small caveat: Hipmunk doesn't aggregate European budget airlines, so once you're in Europe, you'll have to do your own legwork on Easyjet, RyanAir, FlyBe, or Flavor-Of-The-MonthAir flights. I recommend trying Skyscanner for anything like that. For everything else, Hipmunk all the way! I’ve been studying abroad for a year in the UK.
