mattk1 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi there, I wouldn't normally post a question regarding this but after several days of getting prices above £1300, I thought I'd see what other people are paying. The flight will be me, my wife and our 6 month old son and I was told by more than one person I could get tickets for around £1100. Now I don't mind paying the £1300 I keep finding but I'm curious as to how some people are able to find cheaper flights? Anyway not sure if this will get any replies but it can't hurt to try.. :-) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yermanee Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Maybe if you told us when you want to fly we could try to see if we could help you. Yermanee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob7 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) I don't know, when you wanna fly. But it looks like, you are only looking for non stop flights! Check Malaysia Airline, via KL, and you go with about 42000 baht. Some hour longer , but 1/3 cheaper. Doesn't sound bad to me Quick checked on Emirates: <£1000, too Edited January 4, 2013 by noob7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinchester Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Try dohopdotcom. Recently booked a couple of flights with Jet for 30k each end of next June for two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 qatar are showing at 35000 each adult and 7000 for the child, jet are showing 27345 adult and 11055 child with moxtravel, jet has a long stop over on the way out, so qatar seems the best price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob7 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi Noob, Yeah that price is all three of us included. You reckon that's ok? It's about 30k, each adult. I would call that ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 There's a big list of search engines in the beginning of this thread: It's worth using a few to see what you can get. Just remember, not every search engine covers every airline. Also, prices go up if your trip is more than 30 days. You might mess around with the dates and see what happens. I've been looking for a May return trip to London and have gotten prices around 30k pp, for a 3 week trip. Extended it to 2 months and the price went up dramatically.

I would call that very OK, I thought the OP was looking at GBP1,300 per person, not for the entire family!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call that very OK, I thought the OP was looking at GBP1,300 per person, not for the entire family!! So did I! Till I saw the 13h transit time in Mumbai. btw: Check, if there is a transit hotel in Mumbai, nearby. May help, to kill the 13 hours a bit. At this price, I do not expect the Airline, to pay for. But check that, too. Emirates is paying, for 'not too cheap bookings' and more than 8 hours (I think, it was 8h, but can be 6h, too), in the transit hotel inside Dubai airport. But you have to deal with the national office, you got the ticket from. And to book in advance, anyway. Edited January 5, 2013 by noob7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattk1 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 This is great thank you for all the excellent and helpful replies! I will be sure to post a reply back on here with the eventual deal I find. The search continues.. Thanks again, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtoad Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have paid between 34 - 42 k on BKK-LHR return routes in Economy over the past 3 years. So the price you have been given is pretty dam_n good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briley Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Change your dates slightly, you seem to be just over the month so you will not get the 1 month or 30 day return prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my A200 using Thaivisa Connect App You call 880 a great deal? That's the average price, I'm looking at, always. Or do you calculate in Euro? Then it is not so bad, but a great deal? You are very open-minded, methinks Edited January 7, 2013 by noob7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Jet Airways currently claim (their 'Best Fares' section on their home-page) to be offering BKK-LHR-BKK return, up to 30th June from B27,070, if booked by 15th January. Of course there's that magic word "from" in there, and some connections are p*ss-poor. But their outward evening-flight via BOM & return from LHR-T4 evening-departure via DEL is good, if its available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just got two tickets BKK-DEL-LHR-DEL-BKK , out mid-July & rtn early-August, for B52,780, or B26.4k each, in the Valentines-Sale (ends tomorrow). Not bad for high-summer I thought, although the 08.40 departure is a pain, too early for any connecting-flight down from CNX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw there booth at Queen Sirikhits last weekend and thought about it, but the problem is that they do not fly to Milan, which is one of my destinations, this is why I booked Qatar for 30615.
