Those who have repeatedly come across the process of finding cheap tickets, know that the Internet is now filled with many different sites (low cost airlines sites, for comparing airline prices, etc.). 
The competition between them is growing at an incredible speed, but still only a few standing sites stand out.
These are useful sites for comparing prices for hotels and car rentals: TrivagoTripadvisor

1. Kayak.com

One of the most popular sites where you can buy not only an air ticket, but plan a whole trip with hotel reservations and car rentals. Quite functional, but will it help to find a profitable offer?
Moscow - Milan = $ 293 with hand luggage, using the services of "Victory" . 
You buy the ticket directly on the site.
Plus luggage from 15 kg will cost you *** 58.06 $ *** ***.
Total you pay *** $ 351.07 ***. High enough price, especially using the services of "Victory" .

2. Skyscanner.com

Moscow - Milan = $ 103 with hand luggage, with the same airline "Victory" . 
By clicking on the link, Skyscanner takes you directly to the airline's website. In the case of Kayak.com, you order the ticket on the intermediary's website, so the cost increases significantly.
Check-in baggage will cost you 1 499 rubles. or $ 23 (fixed price on the site "Victory" )
The cost of the entire one-way trip will be *** $ 126 ***, which is much cheaper than on the Kayak.com website , due to the purchase of a ticket directly on the VictoryAirlines website .

3. Skiplagged.com

Moscow - Milan = $ 101 with hand baggage, with the "Victory" . Compared to Skyscanner.com, the price differs by $ 2, but this is only to attract customers, since Skiplagged.com redirects you to the airline's website and the final price remains the same, since it is already fixed.
As a result, you pay the same *** $ 126 ***. The advantage of Skiplagged.com is that you are offered a schedule with dates and prices for the whole month, so you can easily navigate when it is most advantageous for you to go back.

4. Google flights

The recently popular Google flights service for searching and comparing air tickets works well for domestic flights, as well as for international ones (although it does not always show all the results). On the map below, you can visually see your route and change it to your liking.
Moscow - Milan = 78 GBP = $ 103 with hand luggage. In this case, nothing changes and you go directly to the Victory site, where the price for the flight plus the luggage remains unchanged.

5. Which site to choose?

As you have already noticed, Kayak.com is inferior to the rest of the site for finding cheap air tickets, since you make a purchase not on the airline’s website, but on Kayak.com . The rest do not differ from each other, only the initial price to attract your attention, which is shown on their website, although the final will be fixed in any case on the airline's website. 
Skyscanner , Skiplagged , Google flights significantly save your time searching for tickets, but at the same time do not always show all the offers. Therefore, our advice: check everything yourself on various airline sites and do not forget to check the hidden prices of air tickets.
And remember, informed - armed!
