BTW, Airfarewatchdog.com has a promo code for Aer Lingus this week. I'm not sure what it wasI've flown quite a bit. Most people never pay full fare for business class, it's often provided as upgrades to those who fly often or those who pay full Y fare, not to mention those on points. Likely the cheapest for you will usually be Aer Lingus, which along with Swiss often compete on the lowest fares. They are usually cheapest transatlatnic, though IcelandAir usually has some deals as well. Try using ITA's Matrix at matrix.itasoftware.com to get a better idea of flights. There are warnings on the right of each flight that will tell you some of the drawbacks of a particular flight.
Now flying between anywhere in Europe to anywhere else in Europe is a complete different story. Often with 15 KG luggage limits, severe overage charges, charges for just smiling wrong and a cattle prod to get you to the seat on some of the discount airlines. I've seen people walking in with four sets of clothing to avoid having to pay for checked luggage. Ryanair being the most infamous for flying you to an airport that isn't even close to where you thought that you were going (like Beauvais instead of Paris CDG or Orly)..
