If you had read the OPEN LETTER TO RYANAIR thread you maybe wouldnt have booked these flights in case something went wrong,

What a fantastic bargain from an airline that is revolusionising air travel for the masses.

Have a lovely holiday :-)

:mad: HELP I HAVE FOUND A BRILLIANT SAVING ON FLIGHTS TO ROME OVER EASTER BUT THE PRICE QUOTED ON THE PRICECHECKER, £6.69, IS CONVERTED TO GDP 18.99 ON THE BOOKING PAGE. hAVE I JUST MISSED THE BEST PRICE OR IS THERE SOMETHING THAT I HAVEN'T DONE. a QUICK REPLY IS NEEDED

The flightchecker prices update daily, about 9.30 am, I think. If any changes are made on the airline's website after that time then it won't be reflected in the prices you pull up on your flightchecker search. That's probably what has happened. If you search for the same flight on the airline's own site, you'll probably get the £18.99 price coming up.

Hope this helps.

PS. If you type in caps people will assume you're 'shouting' and may consider it rude.

Spot on - I'm in the same situation: I want to get to middle Italy, from the West Country, i.e., Bournemouth/Bristol/Exeter/Southampton, etc. without flogging up to London.

Here is the reply I received from Easyjet customer services:

dear All,
It is a shame that Manston /Kent International Airport/ london Manston or what ever it calling itself today is not on the flightchecker (yet) as EUjet do have 75p flight sales from time to time. Also they have started using SMS txts to inform people if the flight that they have booked will be late. A first (they claim) for budget airline and i think a good idea.

..... and here's the reply I had from EasyJet.

Thank you very much for your email regarding flightchecker money saving scheme.

Hopefully we can clarify our position with regard to this matter.

easyJet has many commercial relationships with web portals, ISP's etc. which are seen as useful marketing tools that are beneficial to the airline. We also advertise easyJet.com through a multitude of different media channels. However, we do not have any commercial relationships with any companies that allow them to display our flight schedule, flights or fares. Our position has not changed since we first accepted bookings through our website https://www.easyjet.com . We want customers, regular or prospective, to access easyjet.com directly where the information they access is both current and relevant to their needs prior to and following a sale.

The flightchecker is misleading because it only shows the fare without the appropriate taxes and charges. The 'customer' has to go to the airlines website anyway in order to get the 'real' price for the flight. Their site works by trawling each airlines website once every 24 hours which means that there is a very good chance that the prices are out of date especially the closer you get to the date of departure.

Therefore easyJet will not enter the scheme and will continue to encourage their customers to visit our website directly.

In contrast the 'Marigolds' reply from them saying "Although we are currently not involved in the Money Saving Expert's cheap flight checker this might be reviewed at a later stage". Sounds like they're definitely saying 'no chance' now!!!
