Business Class Flights to Australia
Just wondered if anyone had any good hints on how to save money on business class flights to Australia - they are really high from the UK at the moment. I tried looking on Expedia and if I went from Frankfurt the cost would reduce by a third?

Travelbag sometimes have good prices - if not I'd go via Frankfurt and have a few German beers in the lounge there - they are free after all!

Re: Business Class Flights to Australia
Watched a programme on this, if you fly to a European destination other than the UK and then fly on from that airport, your tickets are considerably cheaper, the reason given by all the major airlines is that the British are the only country who WILL pay the higher charges. All the other Euro countries will not tolerate the hike in price so the airlines dont charge them, just us suckers then
As for saving some money, have you any airmiles you could use up, weve got enough to upgrade to two business class so far, only need another 3.
