Kayak vs Google Flight - What is your favorite travel search engine and why ?

Hi everyone, I'm really interested in knowing how finance/consulting guys like you plan their travels especially which travel search engine you use and why ? If you could also state your country of residence as I know that certain sites are more popular in certain parts of the world I will start : I'm from France and I use mostly Google Flight because I usually don't know where I would like to go on holidays and I really find helpful the exploration feature

10/10 for the free version, I have a separate folder just for these and though the sales are 1-2 days, popular destinations usually will have sales every couple weeks. I've used it already for a couple trips and it's been great, the only issue with the less popular destinations is that you have to be sure you want to go somewhere at the drop of a hat and be work out the specific dates for the absolute cheapest flights. Otherwise, would definitely recommend.
