Any recommendations for cheap flights
 
Hi

Am looking to book to return flights to brisbane for April time and the cheapest I can find is through Travelbag at £495.00 plus taxes, flying with Emirates.

Does anyone know of any better offers, if so could you point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Jo

PS: Why is it, if you book directly with Emirates on the same flights etc, they charge an extra £700 a ticket?

e-bookers (www.ebookers.com) worth a look - I've found them the cheapest online when looking.

Sounds like a decent price!

Just booked with Singapore Air, direct for late Jan, one way, internet price said £445 but when I rang they could do it for £400 despite the chap telling me should have been 6% cheaper on the internet. (return was £650 for Jan)

Emirates that is 2 touchdowns on the way, I think?

www.singaporeair.co.uk might well be more expensive, but good site anyway.

Ignore the £20,000
:scared:

It sometimes brought up silly prices for ourselves if it was struggling for seats, i.e. would price you for business class (raffles as they may call it). Searching on earlier or later dates would eventually bring up a more reasonable price. :) Mind you can't beat speaking to someone on the other end of a phone line! Or that may just be old fashioned.

Cheapest is generally not always best. Depends if you want to see your luggage again.

exactly, twice as much chance to lose it with two stops.
