New Flightchecker tool feedback

Former_MSE_Rose

We're currently testing a version of MSE's

New Flightchecker

and we'd love your feedback to make it even better.

Why the new version?

Our previous version was good for finding budget flights to anywhere, but flight-finding technology has improved so much since that we're now able to give it a massive update, with all the bells and whistles.

Some of the biggest new features include a layout redesign, and the 'I'll Go Anywhere' feature has been enhanced to let you choose the type of holiday you're after, for example, beaches or city breaks. We've also added a range of different graphs and charts to help find the best price.

Importantly, once you've picked your flights, the new Flightchecker automatically finds them on the airline's webpage - so you can instantly book direct without having to search for them again on another website.

What do you need feedback on?

As it's currently in the testing stage, we're concentrating on the tool's functionality. What works for you, and what doesn't? Have you spotted any glitches or bugs? Are there any other features you think should be included?

Just click 'reply' to post - thanks for your help!

The extra charges is a good attempt to level the playing field and help to do a true comparison.

Is the bag per person bit assuming the person is an adult, or does that include children and infants?

Perhaps number of passengers at the start would help with the true comparison aim.

Hi Richard,

All the prices we use assume a single adult - we enable you to pick numbers of passengers at the final stage of our tool.

Unfortunately the data requirements to hold all permutations of people combinations makes it too difficult for us to work on, and obtain.

It doesn't pick up flybmi flights from EMA-FRA at all.

The inclusion of Vueling flights from LHR to Bilbao would be useful as a comparison with easyJet flights from STN.

Good spot - that's a new route that I'll get added in...

Ok maybe best for families to chose the 'maybe later' bit for extra charges.

Berlin airport BER Brandenberg opens next year, perhaps just have BER to include BER, TXL and SXF at the moment as a catch all for the three Berlin airports.

Doesn't pick up Aerlingus LGW-AGP flights.

Doesn't include flybe LGW-NTE flights.

Thomson and easyJet fly from LGW to more Greek Islands' airports than listed.
