This is a flat-out plug. Unsolicited, and I am not affiliated with this website in any way; just a fan.
It is (has been) one of the pleasures of this forum to watch, and root for, the growth of little "labor of love" websites that grow up to be important and invaluable internet information resources.
Slowtrav.com is the prototype; now whichbudget.com continues to shine. They have a newsletter, and it will fuel your imagination to create itineraries that you might not have been able to concoct otherwise. Some of their latest news: low-cost service to Krakow, LGW-PRG, and service to Chambery.
If you don't know this site you should, and if you like getting armchair ideas for new trips through your e-mail inbox, I recommend you check them out.
Best wishes,

I don't like airport taxes either. But they are the right thing to do. Taxing the general population to meet the cost of running airports would be wrong.
And of course, there should be appropriate taxation on air freight.
And air mail should help foot the bill as well.

I love whichbudget as well!
There's another one www.flybudget.com, which gives you all possible budget airlines, even if there is no direct budget connection between the 2 cities. Admitted, sometimes the results are a bit weird (fly from Bilbao to Hanover and from Hanover to Barcelona) but usually helpful.
And www.skyscanner.net has fewer airlines, but they do give you a table with the prices of the flights over a weekend or month so if you're a bit flexible it's easy to find the cheapest flight.

Rex, many thanks, and I agree wholeheartedly that it would be dead wrong to tax people who have little or no hope of flying to reduce the burden on the likes of us, who have. Thanks also for having the decency to post your name and city.
