    Emma, i had the same-flightchecker qouted 1.99 and the flight was around 15.00 on the ryanair website.
    Just been on flightchecker and the 'price trawled' said 181 hours ago, so i isnt exactly accurate to the day.

    Can anybody explain the price differences?

    Can Flight Checker not be expanded to include some of the "ordinary" airlines such as BA? If booking in advance, contrary to popular belief, BA (for example) can often be cheaper than Ryanair / Easyjet et al.

    And no I don't have any connection with BA!

    I ran a query on flightchecker .. but the results came back 'last scanned 280 hours ago' - .. I think this may account for a lot of questions on price difference. How often is the update run ?

    Cheers

  • HLK - The flightchecker is continuously updated. However, sometimes web-sites are down or running slow, which can cause the update to take longer than normal.

    Sunshinekid - The flightchecker shows flights up the 6 months in advance.

    Busterkeye - I'm sorry you had problems. I've just tried exactly the same thing, and have lots of flights get returned. If you're still having problems, please PM me, and I'll help to sort things out.

    Thanks,
