Been trying to book ex dub flights all day with Expedia and getting " the seats you selected are no longer available (143)" on every option after selecting the return flight

Anyone else ?

It's working fine on Expedia for me, for example ex DUB to MCO using VS15 from LGW is £1055 UC return(dates in November) versus £2651 for the identical VS15 flight without originating in DUB. That's a saving of £3,200 for a couple!

Ah, but does it let you go beyond the stage where you select your outbound & return flights? I'm getting the same error message as David once I've chosen my flights.

I just tried, too, looking at flights from DUB to DXB in November, and got the same error message when I tried to select the outbound flight. The same error comes up when trying to book on .co.uk AND on the .ie website.

Oh dear, hope it's not been "fixed". I'm glad it's not just me

It seems to just be ex DUB fares

David

Ah see what you mean, I got same. That said I swapped the MCO for LAS and it worked fine through to final option selection. £1624 ex DUB. £4700 without the DUB. Using VS43/44.

It still works to price them up on the Google Flights tool, so it may just be an error in Expedia.

Did the itinerary include Aer Lingus flights? I have been having problems for a few weeks but only with itineries including Aer Lingus. Try e-bookers, they still seem to be able to let you book ok.

The issue with the EI flights is that they only offer Economy, so perhaps Expedia is getting in a knot trying to price up mixed fare combos?

When booking with Expedia, what class would you use for Uppers Class flights..? They show nothing for First, do you use Business..?

It also happens when you try and price the whole trip in economy though.

Business.

I had this issue the other day when looking at flights, worked fine when selecting the BA CE flights though.

Yeah BA with Virgin works fine for me too, trouble is you can't choose BA flights when going DUB-MAN.

I don't think BA flies direct to MAN. I think they only fly to LHR and LCY from Dublin. I think only EI and Ryanair do the DUB-MAN route

Just tried to phone to see if there is an issue - that's 10 mins of my life I will never get back !

Call centre coupled with language difficulties and a not straight forward routing resulted in me giving up.

She tried to say all the flights showing availability were not available and "the system hasn't been updated" - thought all these systems were real time !

Hope its just an error but not looking good !

Don't forget that DUB is not the only starting place for ex-Europe flights.

Try AMS, CDG, CPH and OSL as well
