BritChickx Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 if you went on weds 31st october you can get a flight with singapore airlines for 634 quid. For some reason it goes up on the first and 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 again if you went on 31st with cathay pacific itd be 650 instead of 700odd http://book.cathaypacific.com/pl/CathayPacificV2/wds/OverrideServlet?WDS_JS_TRACE_OFF the first link with the 1 stop over is probably the best though. You need to think about if you have one with more than one stop over you'd actually spend more time and monmey during those stopovers than paying a little bit more for a flight with one stop over.

jonmitch Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 £647 with Malaysia (superb airline) the 1st via expedia. Whatever you do, saving 50-100 and flying china airlines is not a great idea. Trust me. Not the best experience in the world!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scarlett10 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Whatever the cheapest quote, print it out and take it to your nearest Flight Centre. They have never failed to offer me a cheaper quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimsdu Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Flight Centre is an Australian and NZ travel agents. Correct me if i'm wrong but never seen them in the UK. I'd just book online. There are alot in the UK i was working for them, You dont even have to go in to a store just call them they will go lower than any price seen online even if by only £1. But by booking with Flight centre you get assurance and 24hr assistance. They will even sort extra luggage allowance, seats etc. http://www.flightcentre.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scarlett10 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I just booked my tickets in the Hemel Hempsted branch of the Flight Centre in Hertfordshire...I was worried that it was a dream!! They (as usual) beat my lowest internet quote and booked all the seat numbers/special meals. They checked my luggage allowance and found extra info for me etc. As you have booked with an agent - you have the safety of knowing that the tickets exist as well. And the agents always have so much knowledge of the where's and hows of travelling. And...I don't work for them!! Good luck with your tickets!
