How to put connecting flights together???

[BillTheSlink]

Well I am repeatedly running into this problem. I have been wanting to get to some out of the way places and I tend to want to start from where I am at. Since I don't really know much about travel, or what airlines serve what cities, is there like a travel site where you can do a search and some how figure out how to put together an itinerary? Let's say I am at Cape Town South Africa and want to end up in St. Louis USA, or Anchorage Alaska, obviously there isn't directs for this. How can I find out where to go to make connections??? :?:

Gidday - I use the KVC availability tool.

Even though you can purchase Gold and Platinum memberships, they do a free service which allows free available/sched searchs. Here is a sample of the results it provides:
