Thought I'd use the Budget flightchecker on here, and was chuffed to find what seemed to be real bargains :j. Seconds later was completely deflated, the quoted prices were correct as at 2825hrs ago! Gone up another £100 since . . . :(

    Are you sure it's not HOURS ago - that's what I get when I try, although that's still almost 4 month.

    Thanks for this there's obviously a glitch somewhere - always best to use the report a problem link on the checker itself - we'll look at it

    I'm a bit late in replying, thought i would get updates to this thread via email? Anyhow, I had put in a general search to Budapest for May-June, and the results were almost all WizzAir - think there was one easyjet in there.


    (Sorry to trip you up slightly there, Norbertsmum! :))

    Thanks for this - we discovered the problem was the system of scarping WizzAir - we're working on fixing it - meanwhile Wizzair has been removed from teh flightchecker.

    You've even fixed the original problem with Wizzair as they are now back in the results, but with up to date info. Handy tool, thanks Martin and co.
