    Easyjet offer countless flights from Geneva to european cities such as Budapest, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Glasgow, Porto, Rome, Madrid. Would be great to get these on the flight checker as there are many good deals. Cheers
  • We have two other budget airlines flying from Durham Tees Valley and Newcastle - Globespan and Jet2.
    It would be nice to see them added to the list when checking availability.

    Hope to see them soon - Keep up the good work!

  • I'm having trouble booking cheap flights to Salzburg departing 26th Dec and returning 8th Jan. Flight checker says £19.99 from Coventry with thompson fly including all taxes and charges but when I follow the link it's loads more. Dont know what I'm doing wrong, anybody have any idea? Cheers.

    When changing departure airport, flightchecker does not always update list of destination airports!

    Just asked Flightchecker for all flights under £1,000 between December and April from any UK airport to any UK airport!

    IT FOUND NONE!

    Hi,

    Im really sad to see that there are no Turkish destinations on the Flightchecker.

    Why is that?

    Thanks.

    Select Londom (Luton) as departure airport. You will then find Istanbul as destination airport - but when you do this Flightchecker thinks Istanbul is in the UK!!
  • The flightchecker is showing flights in February from Luton to Alicante with Thomsonfly for £18.99 - hooray! But when I click on the link to Thomsonfly, I cannot find ANY flights from Luton to Alicante.

    Do Thomsonfly still fly to Alicante from Luton? They are shown on the destinations route map as 3 times a week or less, but I cannot find any flights on the Thomsonfly website.

    Can any one help or let me know please? It is so frustrating to find a cheap flight and then be unable to actually book it!!!

    Don't know how FC has picked up a price. I think Thomson's LTN-ALC flights are charter flights not scheduled. Their scheduled service goes from Gatwick!

    Scheduled LTN-ALC flights are Monarch and Easyjet and I see that Easyjet have some £18.99 flights available.

    (ps....am I seeing things or does FlightChecker think Alicante is in Sri Lanka when you're flying from Luton???)
