    Shame that the flight departure times are now omitted, it can cost a lot extra to get to the airport in the very early morning, the flight may be cheap but a taxi isn't because there is no public transport very early in the morning to the airport.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    I would like to see Waterford Republic of Ireland added.
    With Aerarran flying between Birmingham and there. Plus the Luton/Waterford, they now have prices maybe not the "Flights for a Fiver" but certainly bargains.
    Can it be added?
  • Manchester to Lisbon isn't offered as an option even though the flight is offered direct by Thomsonfly. Any reason why?
  • Hi there,

    I am new to this site and love it. I am looking for a couple of different timed return flights to Cyprus and found some great ones on flightchecker. Details there point to Mytravellite but when I click to go to their site that site says that they are not flying in the winter months and therefore the flights do not exist.

    What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

    It will depend on when the airlines release their fares - the flightchecker works by scanning the airlines own flight listings & prices, so if the airlines don't have them available, our flightchecker won't either... :o
  • Is there any way of getting a dump of previous prices for a particular route and airline. I'm thinking specifically for Ryanair to Tampere from Stansted.

    Previously they have lowered there prices approximately 2 months before Christmas, but for the rest of the year it's about 1 month before departure.

    Would it be possible to get a dump of previous data, so that I could verify this.

    Obviously it varies depending on the number of seats sold, but there is a definite point at which Ryanair cut the prices.

    Many thanks

    Bobby

    For Alicante look at www.easyjet.com/en www.flymonarch.com www.ryanair.com www.teletickettravel.com www.thomsonfly.com www.mytravellite.com www.firstchoice.co.uk

    Sometimes a few pennies saved can cost more in extra pennies getting to and from the airport, sometimes the total travel cost is cheaper going from your nearest airport.


    Just to add http://www.bmibaby.com/bmibaby/html/en/splash.htm

    to that list.
