Good Price?

[makavelli]

Just got a price flying on 20th July and returning 12th August, £514 including tax aswell, flying economy with Emirates from Manchester, as London is abit too far, I am from Sunderland and Newcastle ticket prices r around the £680 mark.

Is this a good price or can anone else beat it?

Cheers people

You may be able to get something a bit cheaper but bear in mind that Emirates are bloody good! Sounds fine to me!

You are going bang right in the middle of the school hols when all of the little Thai kids are travelling home from their boarding schools in the UK for their annual summer break in LOS.

Also being as said school holidays/factorys/Coal fields /shipyards 2 week jolly time you will have have a general increase in family visits to see granny-aunty whatsit and vice versa in places like Qz and NZ.

For cheapest times and prices avoid HI SO months and festivals like Song C-Xmas and Hogmanay.

Feb,Mar,April,Sept,Oct and Nov. (with some exceptions)are usually the most competitive

Just paid my ticket today to LOS next week with Emirates 690.- Eu good price. Hope the flight is good as i have heard.

From Helsinki to Bangkok next month 320 euros.

One way only though, but I'm not complaining

Sounds like a good price to me.A top airline in peak season.

Probably is a good price. If you want to check, take a look at the following:

Opodo have been offering £25 off flights over £150 (booked by 31 January) and generally have a good range of airlines - particularly if you're happy to accept non-direct.

That makes GBP514 with Emirates from Manchester a good price considering Phuket Air flies from Gatwick, and are definitely not in the same class as Emirates.

The fact my mate lives in London & its a "direct flight" cheaper by 64 pounds. I do'nt think he's worried to much about not being in the same class.

I flew out with Phuket no problem, but your mate might get a bit worried about 'the class' if he experiences a big delay of 38 hours with Phuket as reported on this forum, amongst others, this is where 'class counts'.

My response was directed at someone from the north of England.

There's some great deals around at the moment. Unfortunately I booked my flights three weeks ago for £500, after phoning the agent they are unable to change/refund them. Wished I'd waited a few weeks now

[Rinrada]

Always next time

First time I flew Thai (LON-Bangers)it cost me @£500 but that was over 15 years ago.

In fact a trip with Binman in 1984 was £360 and if you consider that for years the baht was pegged on the Exchange market at $1=25 and £1=38-42...then you are now still quids in.

One horrible day in something like 1992-3-4 I only got 33 to the Pound......"Quel horrour"....33...c"mon but then again when the sun came out in "97.....it hit 95 little ones

Tough that one mate. I nearly fell into the same bad timing. But fortunately I had to delay the booking for a couple of days. When I phoned back the prices had dropped by £100.
