I need to fly today, where can I search for options?

A friend of mine needs to fly today. All typical aggregated booking sites don't allow searching for today. Anyone know where it is possible?

Most definitely Kayak - it's my number one stop for flights, be they a year ahead, or 5 hours from now. And they certainly support LCCs - I once used Kayak to work out that Miami to London was quite a bit more expensive than Miami to Dusseldorf, and find another way for the final leg. So I flew to Dusseldorf, trained to Cologne, went into a net cafe, found an EasyJet flight later that day, had lunch and headed to the airport.

It's certainly made travel more flexible for me - thinking back to using travel agents makes me cringe :/

How do you get the best deals when flying?

If you're traveling during low season it's more likely cheap fares will pop up closer to departure date, but prices tend to jump in the last month or two before departure, so you don't want to cut it too close. You also want to pay attention to times when you know airfare is actually going to go up.
