If you'd rather not spend hours looking for the absolute best deal on your next flight, Flightfox may be worth your while. The service's "flight hackers" compete to find you the lowest possible fare in return for a $29 finder's fee (refundable if you're not satisfied).
Currently the average savings listed over base flight prices is $373, but if you browse past savings you'll see that international and multi-city flights are especially ripe with possible savings if you let someone else do the searching for you rather than going the traditional Kayak or Expedia route: In a Canberra, Australia to San Francisco, CA contest, the price saved was $2,252 per person (24%), and for a flight from Singapore to Hartford, CT $1,203 saved per person (54%).
