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
