    Saw the free offer briefly and now it is gone. May be if we go online really early in the morning we might catch a cheap flight. Need to look out for the 1p regular fares as this does not attract taxes. Still need to add luggage to the booking which costs money.

    you just need to keep on pressing f5 to get the correct banner, but clicking the banner has no effect. Below is a list for the free destinations from Stanstead:

    Berlin (Schonefeld)
    Jerez
    Oslo (Torp)
    Seville
    Stockholm (Vasteras)
    Szczecin
    Toulon St. Tropez
    Tours Loire Valley
    Trieste FreeTurin
    Valencia
    Valladolid
    Venice (Treviso)
    Vitoria (Bilbao)
    Wroclaw
    Zadar (Croatia)
    Zaragoza (Pyrenees)

    I managed to copy and paste this list by pressing f5 loads and loads of times til this list came up. However it is not possible to find free flights for them at the moment only the 1p flights.

    so for the moment (which i guess will be fixed once the coders wake up), you can only find 1p flights for these destinations. which tbh is still practically free. so up to you whether you want to wait or not.
    too bad I won't be in england in sept/oct.
    happy hunting for the cheap flights.

    The advert on the site says:

    Applicable Days: Mon - Thurs & Sat
    Subject To Availability
    Flight must be purchased: 14 Days in advance
    Blackout Period: 19th Oct '07 - 04th Nov '07

    15th Feb '08 - 25th Feb '08 to/from Ireland
    Notes on this fare: All Holidays, School Breaks and Major Sporting Events are excluded from this offer



    My understanding from the line I've highlighted in red is that is we shouldn't be paying the taxes or other charges either. I've found plenty of £0.01p flights, but as all of them have the tax to be added on, I'm going to leave sorting it out for the morning.

    There are 1p ones without taxes as well as 1 p ones with taxes. I believe they have to charge a token 1p for the freebies or it screws up their system.
    Go on the "Find Lowest Fairs" section and you can look at 20 day blocks, saves putting in lots of dates one after the other. Then select the 1p flights if they are on days that suit you. Check the next page to see if taxes have been applied.

    That's what I've been doing - not one so far without taxes for Venice or Barcelona. :(

    Wherediditallgoto,

    I don't know what your preferred departure airport is, but Stansted to Venice is available going out on the 12th or 15th Sep. and returning on 13th or 18th amongst others.
