FlightChecker is good but it isn't accurate when quoting prices including 'taxes & charges'.
e.g. Monarch flight on Checker - £31.81 (incl taxes & charges)
actual cost on website: - £31.99 (+ £31.80 in taxes & charges!!)

Is the flightchecker up to date???.. I find prices too much difference in the actual flight site when compared to flighchecker. I see that the prices are checked some 50 hrs ago and for some 400 hrs ago.

Flightchecker told me that return flights to barcelona from stansted would be roughly 70 quid with easyjet when I went on the easyjet site it came up as 100 quid? How can you rely on the flite prices?

Flightchecker prices as so out of date.

Plus it doesn't even feature airlines like Airsouthwest.com who are a great little airline for Uk and Ireland flights.

You are better off trying Skyscanner

Why can you not include flights to the far east and specifically the philippines?

How about upgrading it to include the option to specify a day of the week for the outbound flight? I bet a lot of people, like myself, are only looking for weekend trips departing on a Friday or Saturday, so this option would improve the speed of the search and only show relevant results...

Hi

I just used the Flightchecker, put all the details into it and asked it to look for flights at or below £50. It returned a search saying that there were no flights, so I increased the search to £60 and it still said the same.

I then went onto BMI Baby's website and low and behold there were flights below £50. Is this a common problem with the search engine ? or is it normally reliable.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have tried searching for flights from Cardiff, going anywhere at any time for les than £20. I get plenty of suggestions, but the pricing seems to be wrong. For example, Cardiff to Jersey with BMI Baby on September 18th is £9.54 plus taxes and charges of £21.95, totalling £31.49, on the BMI Babay website. On the flight checker it shows as just £18.54. Am I using the tool wrong? Or does it just not work?

All flight search engines directed me to BMI baby as the cheapest site for a flight from Prague to Birmingham.Just one Czech Crown - 533 (18.43) when you add taxes etc. On the next screen, where you actually have to book and pay, the cost based on exactly the same information now becomes 2347 crowns (£82). It seems like they are using these headline fares to get people to their website and if you don't check each stage you could end up paying five times as much!
