If your travel dates are flexible, you can use our Flexible Dates view to quickly compare prices and find the cheapest days to fly.  

## How do I find the monthly prices feature?

On our **desktop website**, you can find the monthly prices by clicking the __Depart__ field, then selecting __Flexible dates__. Choose the month you’d like to travel and view the prices for that month.

On our **mobile website,** you can find the monthly prices by tapping the __Depart__ field and then __Flexible dates.__ Choose the month you want to travel, then check the prices for that month.

To find the month view on our **app**, tap the __Date__ field, scroll down, and see the prices for the month you’d like to travel.

You'll then see a calendar or grid showing prices across different dates, making it easy to spot cheaper options at a glance. 

## What do the prices mean?

The prices shown in the calendar are indicative prices. They're based on recent searches by other travellers, rather than live prices being checked in real time. 

When you select a date, we'll show you the latest live prices from airlines and travel providers before you book. 

## Why am I seeing more prices than before?

We've recently improved the duration for which prices remain visible in the calendar. 

Instead of removing all prices after a fixed time, we now keep them available for longer when they're less likely to change. For example:

-   Prices for trips in the near future refresh more often
-   Prices for trips further ahead stay visible for longer

This means more dates now show prices, giving you a clearer view of your options when planning ahead. 

## Why do some dates show prices and others don't?

Because flight prices change frequently, each price is displayed for only a limited time. 

If a price is no longer considered up to date, it's removed from the calendar and replaced with a magnifying glass icon. You can click this to check the latest live price for that date. 

## How accurate are these prices?

Indicative prices are designed to help you compare options quickly, but they're not guaranteed. 

Prices can change based on availability and demand, so the final price may differ when you select a flight and proceed to booking.
