> Skyscanner can also construct somewhat of surprising itineraries by piecing together tickets on multiple separate LCCs that involve non-protected transfers

I used to be a big fan of Skyscanner a few years ago, but recently they seem to have dropped the ball and competitors have caught up.

In terms of the non-protected transfers there is now Skypicker (http://www.skypicker.com/), which lets you search airports by distance from a location (so if you need to get to Copenhagen, Denmark you can also search flights to Malmö, Sweden and take the bus which takes ~1hr). It doesn't seem to have quite as many low cost airlines, and the UI isn't very user friendly.

For general flight searches Momondo (http://www.momondo.com/) has a nicer UI and easier access to the filtering options and price estimates. It seems to have the same airlines as Skyscanner too.

Momondo is nice of course but be very careful as it links to some ... interesting travel agencies and your reservation might just poof! disappear. Make sure to check your reservation exists with the airline about a week after booking.
