    Suggest you get a Wotif RETURN price and see who beats it. https://www.wotif.com/Flights
    The bug that was in Wotif one has to pick days that have flights

    Flights are even cheaper if you include accommodation/hotel often much

    a NSW country town and stay with the relos

    Turns out that even turkish airlines do that in their app
    and wotif does too. But wotif has real glitches, the cheapest fare
    isnt always shown under the date when you try different dates.

    And does anyone do a decent historical record so you can
    decide how early you need to book to get the best price ?

    Turkish airlines has jumped 10% since we last checked it
    only a couple of weeks ago. But the main competitors like
    Qantas/Bartik airline code share hasnt for a trip from
    roughly 1 aug to 1 nov return.

    Google does a pretty decent job, but doesnt do what I asked about >>>>>
    Suggest you get a Wotif RETURN price and see who beats it.
    https://www.wotif.com/Flights
    Same result as google and doesnt do what I asked about

    The bug that was in Wotif one has to pick days that have flights
    listed ot it comes up with nothing, not tried it within Australia
    We aren't talking about within Australia, as I said

    Flights are even cheaper if you include accommodation/hotel often >>>>>> much
    cheaper than flights only
    They dont need accommodation/hotel

    what do they need

    Just the flights, they stay with relos at both ends

    Pays to check often the deals are cheaper than the flights alone

    But they can't use the hotels at either end. Tho I spose they
    could just not use the hotel and stay with the relos anyway

    Cant make the app or web site work to include and overnight
    in istanbul to see what difference that makes to the fare

    Particually for overseas travel
    I always like breakfast as well and the staff have to be nice to you
    as well.

    As I said elsewhere relos make much more sense for them

    Bullshit, its completely trivial to do that.

    The only reason they havent done that yet is because
    it isnt clear when they can leave given that that depends
    on when the grape pruning will be done this year. That
    is their main income so that matters.

    Just read that in Wotif

    Just because some fool claims something...
