Flightchecker

Traveller2721

Used Flightchecker to search for flights. Found really good flight & prices, prices quoted were according to site, checked 1 min beforehand for outward flight & 3 hrs previously for return flight but when transferred to actual company to book, found they were much more expensive, approximately £80 more each way, very disappointed. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Traveller

The flightchecker is based on spidering not scraping - so it checks every price possible then puts them in a database, ryanair blocks this so we use a different data source for it that can sometimes be out of date (the checker tells you when last checked) but usually works fine, though as you see there can be glitches

However we're in the process of a brand new version of the FC - we're already testing it in the office - and its a massive improvement.
