    The inclusion of Air Portugal direct flights from UK airports would be a useful comparison to easyJet/Ryanair
    prices.

    Germanwings flights would also be useful.

    Air Europa flights from LGW-MAD.

    flybmi flights from LHR to Morocco would be helpful.

  • Thanks Richard. I've logged all your data spots, and will fix all of these in due course.
  • When you have done your search, I'd like the option in the left hand menu to reselect the airport and destination.

    I live approximately midway between 3 airports and it would be good to change it without having to go back to the main page.

    That said, I don't fly much as I am scared stiff of flying. If it's cheap enough I will though - if I'm going to do something I hate, I don't want to pay much to do it!!

    could there be a possibility of searching or excluding continents so searching for everywhere except europe

    i like how it works when looking for a specific airport but when you say i'd go anywhere the first one is always within the UK is there a possibility to have a tick box etc to remove or include it

    couldnt find any city break or stag/hen holidays between now and 31st dec 2012 for any length of time going to any location

    Thomson booking link isn't including the date when you click through to their website.

    would be useful to have differentiation between "there are no flights" and "there are no spaces on any flights"
  • I would like a back button, but is there anyway of having a choice of any uk airport or failing that due to complexities, any southeast, northeast,southwest etc. I have been looking for flights to paris last few days and it is such a chore when you to tap in every airport that potentially flies there. Also is there any way of finding the cheapest flight even if it means flying out from one airport and back to another.
  • At work we use Internet Explorer 6! I know!!!!!!!!!!! but not unsurprisingly this does not work with this checker it seems.

    One thing i would like have is a reverse flight checker, put in the destination airport first and automatically filter/show which uk airports fly to there. The choices change so often that it is hard to remember which routes are still valid

    No Canadian flights in August 2012 and no way to choose Halifax International Airport in Nova Scotia.
  • I have been looking for Tenerife flights next summer and have been checking daily for weeks. I put in my dates and it quoted :

    Thu 14th Jun
    15:15 Tenerife South
    19:05 East Midlands
    FlyThomasCook
    £87.39

    and

    Fri 15th Jun
    11:35 Tenerife South
    13:40 East Midlands
    FlyThomasCook
    £46.77

    I have clicked on the links for both flights and aswell as the price not being available, ThomasCook dont fly 14/06 TFSEMA or 15/06 at that time
