Summer 2015 flight misprice

[wayneg]

Looks like Alpharooms have some errors on their site. No idea if they will honour them or not. Might be worth a try if your dates are available.
They are on Thomas Cook direct flights:

Example for 2 adults and 2 children on below flights it averages out at £373.08pp

Outbound flight

MT719
(MCO) Orlando International - (MAN) Manchester Airport

Your total flight cost has changed from £1,632.32 to £1,492.32
Total price
£1,492.32

I expect them to be cancelled but sometimes they do honours these errors.

i never manage to catch glitches.

there was a glitch a few years back on an airline website, where the round trip airfare for New York to Tel Aviv was about £185 instead of £850.

It only lasted a few hours but hundreds of people booked and the airline honored it.

I have bagged 2 or 3 flight glitches in recent years. Best was the Delta Business class, I paid £475pp instead of about £1,700pp.

I would be more hopeful with this glitch if it was another site but I know Alpharooms don't honour unless they have to, I booked a hotel room with them last year, I knew it was an error but tried anyway. They sent me confirmation for same hotel brand but different location (Idrive instead of LBV) they would not change me to the LBV location for the same price. I cancelled.

They can't take anymore than you have agreed to pay.
They will have to refund every penny if they are not going to honour the price.

Only loss to you is the time it takes them to refund, it should be done instantly but some companies can take a while.

Just priced up 6 of us - £2,100!!!!

Unbelievable - I hadn't found the same for under £6,000 previously...

Good luck all but as Wayne says be prepared for a refund, I had the same last month and got full refund 24 hours later unfortunately from them, if you can't get that price on the TC website it's an error sorry

I agree to be prepared for a refund but disagree about the lowest price being on TC website. For this past July I booked TC with Orbitz, TC site double the price plus wouldn't accept the booking.
Also booked TC flights for relatives this past Aug, far cheaper using Netflights compared to direct with TC.
Maybe its not that common but I have never booked direct with TC.

Nothing showing now. Had a look as SIL hoping to go next summer.

Good luck to those who managed to book.

Yes sorry all, TC not always cheapest for there own flights I think we booked this year via Opodo,Wayne is right but when it's treble compared to one site there's a very good chance it's wrong

Still there, just checked.

I think Manchester route is Wednesday to Wednesday
London Friday to Friday.

Maybe some are sold out but the dates in my OP are still there.

I'm on alpharooms.com looking for 2 adults and 2 children for those dates but can't get anywhere near those prices

 

[tinkerpea]

Ijust looked and cant find them anywhere close to that either,
I also looked for my May dates which willbe May3rd till 17th for our first DC and lots of flights that came up at £419 are all not available anymore, i looked at around 9 of them!

Cheapest i can get for may is 590 direct. No kids so wouldnt mind non direct if it was a decent price.
I never manage to get the glitches! I do hope you who did book get lucky

I checked Wednesday to Wednesday like Wayne, did you go all the way to the booking page? My dates were July/Aug but the flight price dropped another 20% when I went to check out.

I didn't buy them though - accommodation on site was £5,800 so decided against it lol.

 

[wayneg]

Checked a few dates this morning, can't see anything now.
Good luck to anyone who booked.
