ASDA FLIGHTS
 
For all those that don't know...I didn't till yesterday, ASDA do flights to and from Australia at great prices with some of the best airlines. It is a very easy to use service.

Follow the link or type ASDA Flights in Google.

Seem's very competitive IMO. :)

Emirates via movingplanet.net seem to just have the edge though. (For the flight 'm interested in anyway).

Definately worth a "bookmark" ! :thumbup:

I used ebookers for my flights and thought I had a good deal with price averaging at £350 for one way tickets at the end of May - Asda would have saved me £100. Will defo recommend to other people :thumbsup:

That's what this site is for, helping others where we can. I have since found out that ASDA so heavily subsidisetheir flights that even their staff cannot get further discount. We have just booked and they saved us £700 for the family rather than booking direct with Thai Airways.....:thumbup:

no, but when they frisk you before boarding they make sure they slap your arse in the process

It still works out at around three times the price of an average priced economy seat. Much as I hate the thought of 24 hours in economy class, the price sways it for me.

But thanks for the sharing the link.

As Broad Shoulders said, please don't type in caps, it's the online equivalent of shouting.

I assume that you're applying for a WHV since you mention departing from Australia. You apply for your WHV first, then book your flights. You shouldn't book your outward flight until you have your WHV, just in case you get rejected. You don't need to have a return flight booked, just proof that you have the funds for exiting the country. I believe that the authorities expect you to have in excess of $5000 when you enter Australia. Also, $4000 for return flights sounds very excessive, unless you're flying first or business. Try www.kayak.co.uk

Hope this helps.
