Hipmunk has the best interface of any travel site, and displays the same information in a easily understandable page than other sites take 15 pages to do so - but I've always been able to find cheaper prices elsewhere. Sometimes much cheaper!

If the pricing isn't right, than it's algorithims get thrown of to, so some flights which are better and cheaper aren't even displayed as it will have instead display some other flight which Hipmunk for some reason thinks is cheaper and so displays that instead.

The hipmunk interface is light years ahead of everyone else in terms of displaying information - but flights and pricing - not so much. I wish it was though, as I hate booking through sites like expedia where you have to fill out 15 gazillion things each time and it's a pain to compare different flights.
