The Budget Airline FlightChecker discussion

  • This was once a feature of Flightchecker. Normally websites improve with time and add extra useful features. I too posted on this subject when MSE asked for feedback, but I guess I was wasting my time then just as I am now.

    There are now lots of errors in MSE (e.g. Natwest stopped doing airmiles a year ago yet this is still on Rewards Checker, and Intelligent Money no longer do cashback on commission). Martin is too busy being a Money Making Expert, and there appears to be no system for the users of this site to report error, or advise when something is out of date.... no none that have any impact!

    Tis site is a great concept, but....

    Still no sign of this feature. Does anyone at MSE Towers actually read this forum? It would be nice to have a response.

  • Hi,

    You will need to check first that you are trying to get a flight on one of the days that are valid, not all days are covered by this promotion.
    They generally only have a set amount of flights available and when these flights are gone the price goes up quite quickly.
    What you should do is go into site, key in date and when price comes up go forward week by week and see what is available. Promotion was running May, June and September and October

    Remember these offers are on quite regularly so if not luck this time, may be lucky next time.

    good luck and hope this helps

  • Hello, there are some flights missing from Kaunas airport, only UK airports could be choosed, ryanair from Kaunas also flies to Dublin, Shanon and Frankfurt Hahn. :T
  • Hi,

    I am using flightchecker to get a single to New York in September, it says £180, but when I click on it and actually go to Fly Zoom it is costing £230. I don't understand why that is?

    Any help would be great, either I'm doing something wrong or there is some kind of glitch!

    Hi
    I think there must be a bug in the Flightchecker software - I too find that the prices quoted are less than the prices on the airline's site - even if it was 'last checked 10 minutes ago' or whatever. Shame if we can't rely on it as it's a great idea.
    Cheers.
  • Hi,

    How do you ask someone to add Aer Arann to the budget airline checker.

    They fly from Bristol to Cork and have lots of internal flights in Ireland.

    Many thanks

    Am new to this - dont know how to post a new thread regarding the flight checker

    The flight checker doesnt do it for me

    I live in the north east of england and want to get to italy

    OK cant type in "north east" or anything like that so looked at Durham Tees and Leeds airport

    put in leeds and pulled the destination box down but only flights in the uk are shown? Did the same for teesside and got the same result

    How do I find the cheap flights to Italy then - anyone any ideas?
