    I love the flightchecker, the only complaint I have is this statement;
    "
    We hope this helps you fly cheaper, but not necessarily more often. Remember the environment. "
    Its yet to be proven beyond any doubt scientifically that we are causing damage to the environment. Therefore I use the tool with no guilt. I am actually trying to increase my 'carbon footprint' this year. Statements like this annoy me and in time it will be proven that this global warming thing is a con trick to get us to pay more tax to governments.

    I am in Belfast it would be nice to search for flights to any London airport - rather than having to do 6 searches (3 from each Belfast airport).

    It would also be nice to search to and from Any Belfast airport.

    Thanks

    If you are likely to be travelling this route often, might it be easier to just check the airlines' websites and do your own comparison.

  • Hello, I am in Holland at the minute but want to book a return flight home [UK] and back to Holland. Is there any way this can be done with the flight checker please? Thanks, Jan

    Probably easier just to use flexible searches on airline websites.

  • It seem like none of the flights have been updated for about 2 weeks now. I use the tool almost obsessively, so it's pretty tough trying to live without it. Anyone know why it's down.

    (yes, I made an account specifically just for this post...)

    Google the airports website and then see who flys from the airport to that destination and then go to the airlines website.

  • For several weeks I have been trying to check flight prices from Liverpool to Sweden, repeatedly I am told that there are no tickets available at the cost I have included, even though I have tried changing these upwards. Yesterday I booked tickets at £12.99 e/w, even with all my extras they were less than £50 e/w - yet despite this there is 'no availablity' of tickets for 'less than £50' when I double checked with 'flight checker' PLEASE PLEASE try and sort this very valuable section of MSE asap!

    Flightchecker - Kaput?

    Looks like i am having same problems as others - just done a check of Prestwick to Faro in May prices are ridiculously high (about £60 each way)- went on Ryanair website and prices are very very much cheaper (21.19 one way and 12 return)?

    Konfuzed?!
