    There are lots of good suggestions above. And the wonderful thing about not being commercial is we can sort them out.

    I like the 'from any airport' also planning to add an 'any london airport'.

    As for other airlines - the truth is we've contacted them and they are just so slow to get back, we have asked all those mentioned above - i wouldn't think we'd get anywhere with them for a couple of months though.

  • When a flight is priced £0.00 what does that mean???

    Probably that the taxes will be huge :D

    I would guess that it means just that £0.00 :eek:

    Yay, brilliant!

    If it could calculate the taxes on the particular fare charged, (or even what is likely, based on similar examples from the same airline), it would be perfect! :D

  • That's brill !!! Thanks Martin.
    I can choose airports between Manchester & Luton to find really good deals to visit my grandchildren in Amsterdam. Maybe I can afford to go more often now.
    Well done to all the team at MSE.
  • The flight checker is great but it would be even better if it showed the day of the week as well as the date.
  • Hi Martin and all the others, I am VERY new to all this.... I did write previously but I didn't get a chance to check back on the forum for replies, so I will leave my e-mail address this time!

    I am looking for cheap tickets to Karachi for the summer and cheap ways to cargo luggage over, anyone know of any offers? Thank you!

    Thanks for the wonderful software. It will save hours for those who like to travel regularly on low budget. Candidate for NEW "tip of the decade" IMO.

    Regards,

    what an excellent idea.. :) Am looking for somewhere to go during easter - was thinking rome and have found 1 flight so far that might be a possibility..

    the from all airports idea is great! :)

    pity servers are struggling.. just out of curiosity? Do you rent your own servers/own your own or is it on shared hosting? because web hosting/servers really aren't that expensive and they really shouldn't be this slow - even with this much traffic.

    We rent servers. It's not a question of expense but managing demand. I'm not sure people quite understand the huge number of info - the site in terms of pages requested is one of the 4000 biggest in the world - we do over 800,000 pages a day!

    And in peak moments we can have 15,000 people simultaneously trying to access info!
