Best site for booking tickets

Kayak is a good place to start (it uses everything available, including other engines). They have the best listing of flight/hotel/car packages that I've found. I'll spend a few hours over the course of a week searching for the best deals when I fly internationally and have always ended up getting something found on Kayak.
If you're flying domestically make sure that you check Southwest.com and Jetblue.com since their rates aren't available to search engines.

Yup, Kayak is one of the best.
Also, try checking out Tuesday for fares; Monday is when airlines change their fares, and Tuesday is when they start matching each other and trying to undercut; some studies say that around 3PM Tuesday is when they are at their lowest, with the weekend at its highest.
Finally, use incognito mode; some engines and airlines are known for keeping a price or increasing it if they know you've been looking for it for a while.

Depending on where Momondo is located, they could not be showing you everything. In the US, the FAA I think pretty much told airlines 'when you give a ticket price, it has to include everything, taxes, fuel surcharges, etc'. If Momondo is say in Europe and they quote US prices, they might just do the base fare and not the taxes/surcharges.

Seriously? That sounds like it should be illegal.
I use hipmunk. But yeah, you should also always be checking Southwest and JetBlue individually.

Euro company
Wouldn't trust it, not sure if Euros have the same regulations which force companies to disclose the full price. You will never pay more then what Kayak, etc advertises outside of baggage fees and stupid shit like that if you are dumb enough to book Spirit.

I really want to use hipmunk. but, its name makes me think of Hipsters and thus I cannot.
Well, you're pretty much fucked given that CRW is a very small airport with no 'bigger' airport around (closest big one is... Dulles? CLT?) SO you're stuck with AA / United / Delta. And the cheapest one is AA/US airways. 414$.
Things of course get cheaper the more access you have to airports. I'm in Los Angeles and I can use LAX, Burbank, Long Beach, Ontario and even OC.

I use Google Flights as it lets you see a month or two in a timeline so you can see which days are the cheapest easily. As others have mentioned, Tuesday morning is when you want to check.
