Out of interest, I checked a bestflights offering for ICN - BKK vs. THAI Air web site for an economy return on Thai Air (01 Oct - 10 Oct) and got these.

Bestflights: (KRW) 973800 (total inc. all taxes)

Thai Air: (KRW) 544600 (total inc. all taxes)

And then a flight from LAX-BKK vs. EVA Air website for an economy return on EVA Air, same dates...

Bestflights: US$980 (total inc. all taxes)

EVA Air: US$828 (total inc. all taxes)

Fair call MM, The online mobs give a good indication of who is flying the route on the days I want, I then go back to the airlines website and double check what price they're offering...

e.g. I'm flying from BKK to AMS in October, Our prefered websites offered EVA economy tickets at over $4k, but on the EVA website I got Eco-Deluxe tickets for a tick over $1400... (which was cheaper than ANY other offer available in plain ol' economy, and a direct flight to boot).

So as you say, it really pays to shop around.

Bad luck to the aussies, without mentioning disputable red cards etc. It was Japans day today...

2000 quid will be plenty, with the advantage of knowing just how much you CAN spoil yourselves by the time you get to Phuket.

Again, just for comparison, I will fly CNS - BKK on Sept 28, RET: Oct 13 on Cathay Pacific, in Economy.

Bestflights: $1580.39 (total)

Zuji: $ 2726.44 (total)

Same flights, same connections...

Wanna guess who I booked with??

In Australia Zuji is almost impossible to beat for on-line prices.

True, as long as you never compare them with Bestflights.com.

OK. I took your challenge and did compare the prices.

I want to fly from Sydney to Bangkok, by British Airways, departing Sydney on 11 Sept. This date is low season for British Airways.

Zuji quoted AUD $790 and Best Flights quoted AUD $2,353. plus taxes.

Now, which quote should I accept?

You're talking about a return flight, but you don't mention the return date

So, I'll pick one at random... Dep: 11 Sep, ret: 27 Sep, BA ONLY. (not Qantas & BA right?)

ZUJI:

1 adult = AUD 829.00

Taxes and Surcharges = AUD 325.50

Service Fees = AUD 12.00

Total Price = AUD 1166.50

Bestflights:

Adult Fare 1 $829.00 $829.00

Adult Tax 1 $325.50 $325.50

Best Flights Service Fee $14.95

Total Price (Australian Dollars): $1,169.45

So the difference on this choice is $2.95 and a win to Zuji.

Now I'm flying BNE to BKK on December 26, Returning January 23 in Biz class

Bestflights Usually the cheapest. Allows world wide departure bookings.

Bestflights special deals for ECONOMY and BUSINESS CLASS are always worth a look.

Travel.com Can sometimes be cheaper for the same flights offered by bestflights, the disadvantage is that you can only book flights FROM Australia.
