I had a pretty simple query: "What's the cheapest flight from my airport to any given airport in Japan for the next 12 months?" I didn't care which city I was heading to because I planned on visiting quite a few cities and they're all connected by the Shinkansen. I didn't care about when I'm leaving because my dates were flexible.

Skyscanner was the only one capable of answering my query. All the competition required me to provide a specific destination and the approximate travel date for any searches.

Try https://skypicker.com as well :)

That does have a lovely UI and I'm sure that I will be checking this site in future along with Skyscanner. One of my favourite features is being able to provide a range of departure and return dates. Unfortunately it does seem to be missing flight information for FlyBe.

I looked for a flight from Manchester to Knock (MAN -> NOC) flying on 24 June, returning 27 June.

Skyscanner was able to show me that there is a direct Flybe service for £64 return: http://www.skyscanner.net/transport/flights/man/noc/160624/1...

Skypicker could only offer me Ryanair flights. Outbound via Dublin and Liverpool and return via Nottingham and Dublin for £85.15: https://en.skypicker.com/cheap-flights-from-manchester-unite...
