What if there are no flight results on the search?

We get asked the question "What if there are no flight results on the jetnav search?" This mainly occurs when the Direct Flights Only box is ticked.
There may be several reasons why no results appear:
Firstly and most obviously, nobody flies the route. If that's the case then check out another airport pairing. It's easy to do from the results page - if you want to check on the same destination, date etc., but flying from a different airport in the UK, then Jetnav lists nearby alternatives, so with one click you can try another search.
If you think the route is one that actually does operate, but the result for your search is blank, then by accessing the Airport Information pages on the jetnav site and selecting the UK airport you want to fly from, all the scheduled destinations are shown. If your destination is shown then the service may not be a daily one, so either reselect to search on a different date, or using the link provided to the website of the airline flying the route, check out their flight schedules. Some routes shown may operate on a seasonal basis, low cost carriers in particular switch their planes from beach destinations in the summer to airports linking to ski resorts in the winter. We are hoping to show the start and finish dates of these seasonal routes on the website shortly.
