I've just received a further reply from EasyJet containing the following :I can confirm that at the moment our management is in the process of reviewing and agreeing a new strategy on what relationship we, as a company, should have with Flightchecker and similar services.
Are they about to change their mind?0 -

Good start Martin but when can we see the other 50% of flights.
ps. In recent months I have seen so-called travel experts on the media telling us how to save on our holidays. Well, either I am the brain of Britain (which I assure you I am not) or these guys are hopeless!!! Compare the prices I paid for my last 3 holidays 2004-5.
Morroco Half-board (HB) 1 week: £85.
Kalimnos (Tiny Greek Isle) £99, HB 1 week &
Taba (Sinai, Egypt) HB Marriot 5 star: £109.
I always meet others who paid this little and sadly always meet others who paid up to 4 times the price. It's not rocket science.
Helo,
is there anyone there? or are you just stupid?
The flight checker is a fantastic resource. It lists both out and return flights. If you cant work out how to get back from your destination -should you be traveling on a plane?
It clearly states that it is not up to the minute. What it gives is an INDICATION of the price when it was trawled ,maybe 36 hours ago. For people like myself its been FANTASTIC. I picked out flights for a weekend on the Costa Blanca. Total cost £40 each inc tax.
I would love other airlines added. it would make it easier to always get the best price. But AS IS it is a FANTASTIC tool for searching cheA flights0 -
I have just used the flight checker for the first time and was simply amazed at the cost of the flights I wanted to book for 4 people - 9 PENCE each!
Imagine my absolute disgust when I went to book the flights with the airline (FLYBE) to find that the charges and taxes came to £157 :mad:
So I checked the EASYJET site to find that similar flights on the same days totalled £87 including taxes and charges.
Why the vast difference? I don't think EASYJEThave anything to fear from being included in the Flight checker......... :0 -
I see that BMI Baby are starting a very cheap service from Teesside (Durham) to Newquay from June 10th to October this year. Can that info be included on the Flight Checker please?
Thanks

I got the prices for the outward journey now how do I get the cheaper price for the return journey?0

Hi,
I filled in the form for flights between 1 June and 19 August to Barcelona from all and gradually increased the amount as the return was zero each time. I eventually reached £2000 and still the report said no flights.
Surely this can't be true? I think I smell a rat (or rather a bug).

Hi
The flighchecker says a flight out on the 17th June will be £13.02 (plus taxes etc.) Yet when I go to bmibaby it says the cost is £39.99 (plus taxes etc. I note Martin's comments about potential for the price being different for 1 or 2 way on bmibaby but even if I pretend it's a return trip it still gives me the much higher price!
Am I missing something?

Please include Lydd airport in Kent if possible.The reason people don't move right down inside the carriage is that there's nothing to hold onto when you're in the middle.0
