Guest proud2beaussie Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi Folks, If anyone out there is looking to travel to the UK soon a major airline has just sent me a press release with details of some special fares. The fare is $1488.00 return inclusive of taxes and charges. Valid for travel from 06 May 2009 thru 30 Nov 2009 . Bookings must be made by 17 April 2009. As I am in a commercial arrangement with the airline I will not advertise them here however if you PM me I will forward the email to you and you can book directly with them-I will not be charging a commission on these bookings as I don't feel comfortable taking advantage of PIO.

Guest jogrant3232 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Flying from all airports or just selected. I ahve heard AirAsiaX are around $1000 dollars return, i do think there is a little price war strating that will bring down the price all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest proud2beaussie Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 The fares are ex Sydney ,and are basicaly due to load factors being lower than normal for the British summer coming up. Air Asia hasn't really succeeded in it's first month of operation out of the Gold Coast to get the load factors they need to sustain low prices for very long. There is a new Qantas sale starting in two weeks which will bring prices down a bit and Singapore Airlines have some very low fares on sale at the moment. Unfortunately fares on the "Kangaroo Route" won't ever be as low as fares to places like the US because of extra fuel required and the distance involved.

Guest proud2beaussie Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 No Mally it's not Singapore Airlines.and Malaysia Airlines don't need to match prices with Air Asia because Air Asia is half owned by Malaysian and 20% by Virgin Atlantic with a private businessman kicking in the rest. Singapore Airlines is in a price war with it's only major competitor on the route which is Qantas. Singapore has always had a fierce rivalry with Qantas because the two share landing spots at places like Bangkok and Singpore where as airlines like Malaysian fly out of places like Kuala Lumpur where Qantas doesn't go to-and doesn't need to to get it's load factors.

Air malaysia were in the similar bracket before the air asia bods came along then they dropped their price, as I see it quantas are as dear as they have ever been and dodgy planes to boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
