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.

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

thanks for that - but prices seem to be the same as other sites such as netflights, lees travel etc.

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

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:

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

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:

Do you travel in a shopping trolly?

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

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:

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

Wish we could use them from this end in Australia???:thumbdown:

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

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

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

HI THERE I WAS CHECKING OUT FLIGHT PRICES EARLIER, AND BECAUSE I SAW ON DIAC SITE THAT YOU NEED TO GIVE EVIDENCE OF TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ARRIVING AND DEPARTING :thumbdown: WHEN APPLYING FOR VISA, NOT SURE IF TRUE THO, I TRIED A QUICK SEARCH ON GO COMPARE AND CHEAPEST I GOT WAS NEARLY £4000 RETURN AND THATS FOR 2010 NOT 2011. CAN ANYONE CLEAR THIS UP FOR ME. THANKS :)

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

can you lower your voice, I've got a headache.

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

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.

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

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.

Hope this helps.

Hope the queues at check in are not as long as in my local store.
There again, they may have a band of Asda aces waiting to jump on and open up other desks.:p

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

Arrh! Don't talk about queues at supermarkets :ohmy:. I hate with a passion the do it yourself checkouts at Tesco's. I had to go through one of them with a full trolley load early on Saturday morning because the human checkouts hadn't turned up. There was a huge queue to use them and then the irritation of having to scan some goods, then pack some goods, etc, else the groceries get destroyed on the rollers and overflowing packing area. Grrrrr! :thumbdown:

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

There should be someone available who, if you ask nicely, will open a checkout for you. I used to go to the tescos in York, in a different life :) early hours of the morning and if they didn't have a normal checkout open I'd ask whoever was wandering about near the self service area.

No way I would be putting a full trolley through self service.. I'd rather walk out and leave it sitting there.

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

The most that our local Tescos will usually do is scan the items for you while you pack - which is fine by me. But last Saturday they weren't even prepared to do that.

I felt like the abandoning the trolley and walking out but after spending the best part of 45 mins picking the items, it didn't seem like a wise move. So I just put on a brave face and waited for my turn while basking in the sense of whinging camaraderie amongst everyone else in the queue. ...It's a bit like BE really. :lol:

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

On a trip to the UK a while back I went to a supermarket and bought some stuff and was chatting to my Mum at the check out. The check out chic didnt seem that impressed (at least what I could tell through the grunts and sighs) when I looked a bit bemused when she had finished scanning everything and the whole shop ended up at the end of the conveyor.

Having your shopping packed for you is definately an Australian plus that you can get used to.

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

Yes, definately. :thumbup: And bring back the petrol pump attendants! :thumbsup: (sorry, am I being lazy now? :))

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

I didn't have to prove flights Glasgowceltic

Re: ASDA FLIGHTS
 

You don't have to prove flights. In fact DIAC's usual advice is DO NOT sell your hosue/dog/furniture/children or book flights until you are certain your visa will be granted.
