1. Hi Jerry,,,,, i began my search like 4 months ahead of time.. no kidding... on Travelocity-expedia-and the airlines themselves.. I got luck with just direct on an airline site....they have deals also.. hope this helps,,,, good luck
2. i'm not sure about the whole date issue but one thing i do kno is that when looking for a flight online one of the best things to do is to look at a travel site (e.g. expedia, travelocity, etc.) and when u have found the flight that u would like go to the airline's actual website and purchase it. 9 out of 10 times it is cheaper. One note however if ur flight is not a direct flight and u have connections with different airlines i would advise you to use a travel agent! Hope this helps!

4. If you are open to dates, have sex with the pilot.
5. The best days to search are saturday, tuesday, thursday. because those days are the time that people search the least. And try to book your flights during the middle of the week. That will also slash your price, wed/thrus and come back on a tues/wed. Also fly on low season times. Summer in general is more busy, but July is the busiest summer month. And shop online on every website you can find. not just the big three, expedia, orbitz, and priceline. try these as well... www.kayak.com www.mobissimo.com www.site59.com www.sidestep.com plus search the airlines directly as well. www.britishairways.com www.klm.com www.lufthansa.com http://www.freedom-tour.com/mall/airlines.html and check this out, its all the different international airlines that go directly to whatever country you are looking for. And there's also alot to be said for booking early. 6 months is a good time to be searching. Check continuously as early as the flights will let you really, that way you can comparing prices, dates, and flights and get the best deal.
6. Try Orbitz. There's a link on the page below. Keep searching.
