Hello, beside the other travel pages try also a visit at http://www.cheaptickets.gr/travel/flights/cheap-plane-tickets.php for discounted airfares.

Probably the airline's website directly is the best option. I fly a lot for work so I book a lot of travel. I always check expedia.com or orbitz.com or one of those sites, and see which airline has the cheapest flights. Then, I go to that airline's website and pick the exact same flights, and more than 99% of the time I get the exact same fare. Except, most of those websites charge a "booking fee" of $5 or more so it's actually cheaper through the airline. And many airlines guarantee that you will get the cheapest fare through their own website. I know American Airlines does this and probably most others do also.
Also, many of the "low-fare" airlines (Southwest, JetBlue) do not list their fares on those websites so you actually have to go to the airline's websites. However, most of the time I find those airlines to be at least as expensive as other airlines.
Of course it also pays to shop around, be flexible with your dates of travel, etc...

I will always start with Orbitz to get a airline's flight and their price and then I will go to the airlines directly and buy the ticket. I have found that I will always save money doing this as Orbitz has a service charge that the airlines (as least Northwest) do not. Also be aware that Orbitz and I believe most of the other non-airline travel sites, do not show all of the airlines. Southwest for one is not on Orbitz, although this has not been a problem in that flying from Jacksonville, FL Southwest rarely is competitive.

If you are a student studentuniverse.com is great otherwise kayak.com because it checks 120+ websites and airlines for you :). I used both just a few weeks ago and it turned our great (and cheap).
Have fun
