ITA Matrix and BMI website booking help.
Is there a trick to booking flights found on ITA? I'm looking at an itinerary from London to Dublin in June (13th - 24th) and the fares listed on ITA don't seem to be available on the BMI website.
It's a vacation for myself and the wife so I'm trying to be as thrifty as possible.
It looks like ITA is putting together two cheap one-way fares but even when I search for one way tickets on the BMI website I'm not getting the same prices on those flights.
I would prefer to do this online so I thought I would ask here before trying to ring up a BMI representative and asking them.

cheapest on ITA 123.40 = 13 (out) + 72 (rtn) + 38.40 taxes
cheapest on bmi 138.40 = 23 (out) + 72 (rtn) + 43.40 taxes
ITA show 9.50 for the UB tax and bmi charge 14.50 for this combination although is correct in others.
It looks like they are not live as some of the other fares are out too
eg 17:55 dep shows 62+tax on ITA and 57+tax on bmi
not sure how often they update them
as you cannot book on ITA you need to book elsewhere and may or may not get the exact match
