jumbojumbo Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 hi guys, any ideas on the cheapest ( no frills ) and not so cheapest ( full service ) airlines back to Brisbane? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingjoe Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Cheap deals from Kuala Lumpur to the Gold Coast available at www.airasia.com. Use www.bestflights.com.au and www.jetabroad.com to search out other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambous Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I've also used www.tigerairways.com to fly to Darwin followed by a cheap jetstar or virgin blue flight to Brisbane. You could also try Jetstar Bangkok to Melbourne or Phuket to Sydney with a domestic flight to Brisbane. For full service airlines, Royal Brunei are the cheapest at around 26,000 Baht return including tax for a 3 month ticket. For one way, the Air Asia, Tiger Airways or Jetstar route will be much cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david96 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 In the long run a full service airline may well be better, I would recommend Cathay Pacific Airlines and get the direct flight HKG to BNE. You have minimal time in HKG and fly on the same airline from Bangkok which has many advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter991 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I've just done a price check for you and here's the results: Let's assume a one-way BKK-BNE on 02 March. All taxes and charges included, fares in Australian dollars. QANTAS: BKK-SYD-BNE is $917 Cathay Pacific / QANTAS is $756 to $791 Air Asia: BKK-KUL-OOL is $391 (make your own way from Gold Coast to Brisbane for $35 with CoachTrans).

Peter If these cut price airlines were genuine they would compete with each other and fly out of all Australian international airports, in Cairns there is only Jetstar and they fly only to Singapore and are dearer than Qantas via Brisbane. Cairns airport is of far more importance than the part time "Gold Coast" one. Cairns and Darwin are the logical "gateways to Asia" and Asian cities. This was proved back as far as WW2.
