Price shown is not available

Hi all… I was looking at booking.com at flights, ( info attached in pic1 ) it shows 70 (69.99) when I click into it the price shows as 88.82. I have not added any other things to the booking

Not sure this allowed is it? Is there someone I can complain to about this

Thanks

    Do NOT book flights like this using a site like that!

    Book direct. What does it cost when you do this?

    Exchange rate between UK & Malta?

    But would echo the above book direct if anything goes wrong you are dealing direct with airline. Not chain of various companies Booking.com tends to use Gotogate for booking flights.

    Book direct, not through a third party.

    Those prices all seem to say "from" which means it is not necessarily the price you pay.

    Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

    You probably aren't booking a flight. More likely an email is fired off to someone who is then tasked with trying to find the flight you have 'booked'!


    If you want a wizzair flight they have their own website - use it,

    Flight pricing is highly dynamic and subject to change, so third party sites can never guarantee to be 100% up to date - note that the same search right now brings up a fare of £98.20 for those flights.

    This could be due to all sorts of things - commission or tax or they put a cookie on your computer and know you want the flight. Like others have said, go direct to Wizzair and see what price they have. Your duty as a consumer is to shop around. You have the power to decide where to spend your cash.
