What flight search engine did you guys use for the final flight into the US? (Germany & around the Globe)

I always start with Google flights, they are quick, and pretty accurate.

Once I find the best option, I then check with one or two other sites,

just for confirmation.

I've found that Priceline and expedia usually have the best prices for my flight searches. The challenge of getting the best price, however, of course boils down to finding "green days" which tickets cost the least in a week, as well as knowing what season each country has the least expected busy months. For example, travel to and from the Philippines for me, October will be the last month before it gets busy, so hoping to get things wrapped up before then. As well, Tuesdays and Fridays seem to be green days typically.

So right now, prices are about 800 usd one way, or 1100 usd round trip on these green days. I've heard of some people getting better deals on round trips, but I haven't ever seen it. My thought is they plan a return on a "super" green day, lowering the cost. So kinda be flexible, do some research, and don't trust the flight search engines that search other flight searches... just go to the sources.

great this really helped me out a lot !! thank u ! but one question after Lufthansa requires 55 x 40 x 23 as carriage box ..but I just find 55 x 40 x 35 which I already have is this a issue ? just have to find a solution for the water she possibly needs in the plane, did you book a own seat for the cat or has she been under your legs ?

I don't know if the extra size of your box will be a problem, sorry. The cat goes under the seat in front of you where you normally put a bag. The airlines charge for the cat as special carry-on luggage. (You will carry on one cat and one bag.)

Oh, water! Lufthansa requires (or required) that you have in the carrier a water container that does not leak or spill. We ended up with a water bottle for a hamster or rabbit, which the cat did not use (maybe because she is not a hamster or rabbit). On the plane we put into the carrier a plastic cup with a bit of water.
