My favorite, favorite, favorite online tool to find the best and cheapest flights for ALL my travels is Skyscanner.  If you haven’t used it before, seriously go check it out!  I use it for my trans-atlantic bookings as well as all my bookings while in Europe or intra-country travel. Seriously the best!
