Turns out that even turkish airlines do that in their app
and wotif does too. But wotif has real glitches, the cheapest fare
isnt always shown under the date when you try different dates.

And does anyone do a decent historical record so you can
decide how early you need to book to get the best price ?

Turkish airlines has jumped 10% since we last checked it
only a couple of weeks ago. But the main competitors like
Qantas/Bartik airline code share hasnt for a trip from
roughly 1 aug to 1 nov return.

But they can't use the hotels at either end. Tho I spose they
could just not use the hotel and stay with the relos anyway

As I said elsewhere relos make much more sense for them
