    Just checked MSE's Flightchecker against Ryanair's own website & it found all the same cheap fares I was looking at, so it works good.

    MSE's Flightchecker does better job than Ryanair's website as you don't have to keep clicking on Next/Previous Week all the time to scan through the days/weeks/months when checking flight prices & dates.

    Good for you! I can never get Flightchecker to work all I get it this:

    Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/www/backedup/html/flightchecker/newtemplate/body.php on line 866

    This is not a one-off attempt - have tried numerous times to use this "tool" and all I get is a sore head!

    What really P's me off is when a company redesigns its website, like Ryanair/ebay, removes functionality you a are used to & makes things more difficult than thay used to be.

    MSE Flightchecker is great as it shows flights/costs over a long period so I can make a decision easily.

    It checks flights in seconds that would take an hour or more on the Ryanair website, having to click Next/Previous week all the time.

    Have to agree.
    Before Ryanair "improved" it`s website you could check for about a month at a time for the lowest fare.
    Now,as you point out it`s about a week if you`re lucky,depending if your dates don`t overlap.
    Do you think that they don`t really want you to find the cheapest fare?

    Ryanair fly from Stansted to Palma - Majorca every day, but the MSE Flight checker doesn`t show any flights for them,only Easyjets!

    Now what have Ryanair done to their website !!??

    They only show 1 day at a time when you select "My dates are flexible option", instead of 6 days they used to show to select cheapest day to travel.
