    The flightchecker is only any good when you know which airport you want to go to. I don't and looking at the list a lot of the places mean nothing to me. Is there any chance of a map so I can see which airport to choose?

    I'm trying to find a flight to Spain, prefably as far South as possible so I can get a ferry across to Morroco.

    Can you not just type into google "map of spain". That will give you a huge selection of maps ,probably with airports indicated and then you can write down the ones nearest to Morroco and then go back to the flight checker and see who flies where from where.
    Honest. I cant believe how some people get through the day without help. Do you wake up in the morning and post a question on the internet "how do I put my socks on?" before going to work?
    THINK!!
    The flight checker ,checks flight prices. That is it. Its not a destination guide,It doesn't tell you whether Morroco is close to Malaga, Kos is close to Athens, Isle of Man is close to Liverpool. IT CHECKS PRICES. ITS GREAT AT THAT. THATS IT THATS WHAT IT DOES.

    http://www.map-of-spain.co.uk
    top page on google
    shows Malaga , Cadiz and Gibraltar to be the closest to Morroco however
    I typed "ferry to morroco" into Google
    and found
    http://www.ferrimaroc.com/ which goes from "Almeria"
    or
    http://tarifa.costasur.com/en/ferry-to-morocco.html
    which is further south

    forgive me if Im in the wrong place, but Im VERY new! I have a question about flightchecker, which is so wonderful it's had me glued to the screen for hours at a time. Now that Im ready to commit myself to dates and stuff, I have a very stupid question - do I now have to go the website of the airline concerned and find the advertised fare? Are they always there? Can I quote flightchecker if I can't find them? Sorry, did say Im new and that it was stupid.......

    okay, I may seem stupid, but Im a quick learner. Went on the Ryanair website and found what I wanted.

    I just sent this to easyjet:
    I recently have used a flight comparison engine. Most airlines have given permission to be listed on the flight checker at moneysavingexpert.com. I was amazed to see that easyjet was not listed because your company have refused permission. This is no broker engine, this is a non-commerical, independent consumer website. I suggest that your policy will be potentially losing sales to your airline. If your prices are the cheapest then your company can only gain by joining this free service at moneysaving expert.com I hope you will reconsider and see fit to join as easyjet seems to be marketed on the strengths of consumer power and choice

    Is there any chance of adding Jet2 into the checker? They already have on on their website, so it can't be too difficult to implement, and it would make comparisons much easier.

    This airline seems good so would be good to have it included?

    It would be great if Flightchecker could include Easyjet and Wizzair. Any chance of them being included in the future?
