Confused about flights on website...

I booked our holiday last night on Travelrepublic.co.uk and got the standard confirmation emails through, but one of them said sorry but the flights have gone up in price since you just looked at them, we need you to confirm that you will pay the extra £20.40

I know it isn't a fortune extra, but I just went on the website from my work computer to show my boss where we're going, and the flights are still being advertised as being £109...surely if that deal is gone and the price has gone up they shouldn't be displaying that price anymore??

Am I being diddled?

    As its an amount including pence then it may be a tax, fee or charge increase and they haven't bothered to update the website.
    Contact them and ask for a breakdown of all costs.
    Until a ticket is issued you have no guarantee of price and even then a tax increase can be collected retrospectively.
