sorry, specifically 20th to 27th.

The FlightChecker lists flights available up to 6 months in the future - therefore you'll see the October flights in a few weeks time.

Listing all major European airports would be a start.
Maybe going from A through to Z didn't make sense....or we would have Amsterdam on the list!

It does go from A-Z & it only lists the destinations it is able to crawl.

For example, when Easyjet for whatever reason refuses to allow the MSE Callchecker to crawl its flights, their destinations obviously won't appear on the list.

I use this often and think it's great but there are a few things that would make it even better.
E.g. If i lived close to B'ham, Cov, and East Mids, then i might not mind which one i flew from. Simarly if i was flying to a friends apartment in spain i could land at Alicantee or Murcia. Some web sites allow you put down up to 3 airports in the seach. If this was include it would check all combinations for the cheapest. I wouldn't mind if the seach took 10x longer to enable this because changing the search around, me making errors!, and making hand notes to compare takes 100x longer to search the opportunities.

Another annoyance is setting up the date window. I don't wanna know a list of inbound flights in the early date range of my search and i dont wanna know late outbound flights during the later of the date range. If there are loadsa flights and you wanna go for 2 weeks but dont mind the fly out and return date +/- 2 days you have to do several searches narrowing down date ranges or setting a small window for outbound and then researching again for a small return window. It would be good if you could click return and put in an outbound date range and a different inbound date range and get the exact search you want.

I have also clicked return a few times when i mean inbound. As far as i'm concerned when i'm inbound i'm returning! I know many sites use the word return when it would be less ambiguous if 2-way was used instead of return and 1-way was used instead of inbound/outbound. It would be good if all aiports were in both lists and then you would only need a 1-way and a 2-way button. My mom who lives in spain keep hitting the outbound button and only UK airports appear! This is because it is written for the UK customer and MSE are not looking to branch into Europe!

Also i find it annoying how if you click the airport drop arrow and then press 'L' for london, Leeds appears at the bottom and all the other L's are off the bottom. If you press the next letter (O) it takes this as the 1st letter again! It would be good if when you pressed 'L', that the list shows the 1st airport beginning with'L' at the top, thus allowing you to see all the airports beginning with 'L' underneath. If you press 'L' when the drop down window isnt active then press the arrow there is no problem. (long explanation to minor flaw!)

Dont get me wrong - i still think its BOSTIN!
