farecompare problems??
 

with the new FC....i can never get it to price a trip...it just keeps asking for a departure date...never a return date...... 9 our of ten times..... what am i doing wrong???

Try a different browser...

Just so you're aware, FC pulls data from Orbitz for specific date searches...

thanks for the tip...i use firefox...my explorer always crashes....

I've had problems with FC and Firefox on my Mac; Safari always worked. The FT MR search page was the most problematical. Figured issues for a Mac might translate, though that isn't always the case. I've been using Firefox lately with no issues...

Are you getting multiple departure dates?

I miss the old farecompare

here here!

i can pick up to 3 departure dates...but it never asks for a return date...just seems to lock up there. ..the round trip window appears to COVER up the PICK A RETURN date window....the explorer browser seems to work..but it usually crashes...i call it the BILL GATES FLU....that is why i prefer firefox....maybe a glitch in my firefox !!
thanks for the help.

To the OP...please read my post in this thread:

Hopefully that answers some of your questions. My guess is that you are trying to use farecompare for a purpose it isn't designed for. Would you mow your lawn with a shovel? Of course not...you need a completely different tool to mow lawns. :)

Good luck!

I always just choose 1 departure date, then click on the "Choose return date" button, and it works fine. I'm using the latest version of Firefox.

I do the same and it works fine for me too. I am also using the latest version of Firefox.

thanks for the input...but it is not that i dont know how to use this service...it is that my browser for some reason..NEVER presents the "pick a return date" button..... for some reason the middle window which contains the return date button...gets covered up by the right hand window....
that is the problem..i just dont have access to the return date button to use it.....now....is there someone out there who is really firefox savvy.??? i thought i was...but this has been a humbleing experience.

Has anyone noticed problems with FC lately with the main list of a airfares that comes up with the maps? The one for HOU is not updating as new fares...higher or lower....come down the pike.
