> Google Flights is usually the best search engine for most people, but don't clickthrough the links to book directly with the airlines.

My usual workflow is to pick the flights on Google Flights and then click the button at the end that takes me to the airline's page to book. What's the downside of that?

I've noticed that sometimes Google Flights finds a cheaper international fare if using the airlines site in the local currency instead of USD. Clicking the button at the end in Google Flights takes care of all the settings to get you to the price they showed.

I've also noticed Google Flights prices being outdated sometimes.

I have found the prices to sometimes be slightly lower when I search directly on the airline's site.
