Cheap airfares via the internet

I have checked out some of the travel/airfare sites on
the internet including those that try to find the cheapest
airfare to match your departure and arrival destinations.
However, they tend to be geared towards advertising packages
rather than for the independent traveller who just wants to
get from A to B as cheaply as possible. Also they seem to be
very US (or major city) oriented.
Can anybody recommend a simple, banner-free, frame-free,
elegantly designed site (probably asking too much) which
does this:
Given a month, departure city and arrival city it returns a
list of cheap direct flights in that month or cheap flights
with stop-overs. eg I might be interested in finding the
cheapest August 1999 flight(s) that will take me from
Auckland NZ to Mexico City.

    Unfortunately, the sites I've seen that provide the format
    you want - like Expedia - only seem to turn up the
    lowest "standard" fares.
    The cheapest fares I've found have always been on
    www.bestfares.com under newsdesk. You have to start
    checking weeks or months ahead and scroll down each day,
    but they have some really cheap fares. However, but
    they'll often sell out in a day or two, so you have to
    check every day.
    Good luck.
