Default Cheap multi stop flights address

I have found a great travel agents that specialise in multi stop and round the world flights.

www.roundtheworldflights.com
or www.globalvillageflights.com


for the best service give them a ring on:
0870 4427770

We have a quote for the following:

London - Miami- San Francisco-Sydney end of dec or mid jan to April
Adult £509 Child £309 includes all taxes.

We will then get an internal flight to Brisbane which costs another £34 each.
Flying with United Airlines who I can thoroughly recommend, they have huge legroom and good service.

They do some great combinations of flights.

ive found internet prices realy expensive for the flight i wanted. flying with british airways from newcastle via heathrow to tokyo(for 5 nights) then onto perth, i paid £630 for one way. it was the same price return would you believe, and i booked that at going places on the high street.

the same flight itinerary i was getting from the net was dishing out prices of £2000+

Hi Tina

Do you know if United have the screens in the back of the seats? Am looking to book our flights to Melbourne shortly and have been advised that if I want the 64KG of luggage I have to fly via the US.

I really wanted to fly with Emirates but want to take as much of my clothing and all my shoes with me so really need the extra luggage allowance and Emirates won't give extra allowance to me as I'm not flying on a Visa (I've got an Australian Passport).

So I've been advised that to get the extra allowance I need to fly with either Qantas, BA, Air New Zealand or United. I don't want to fly with Qantas/BA again as I had rather a bad experience with them last year, I know that Air New Zealand don't have the video screens, so that leaves United.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Regards

United have got the screen back individual tvs. We flew with them to Miami in April and they were excellent. The leg room is huge, seemed about the same as Emirates.

The newer planes have individual video games as well, but don't count on this as our one didn't.

Ring up for the best prices.

I have been searching web sites for ages to find cheap multistop flights from London - Miami - Costa Rica - London for 3 weeks holiday in August. The prices were not too bad, but the second leg of the journey Miami-Costa Rica was going to take in excess of 7-8 hours for what should only be a 1.5 hours journey. I had almost given up hope when I came across your message recommending round the world flights. I rang them today and they offered me a fantastic deal, all the dates I wanted, and all direct flights for £803 per adult including taxes! Just wanted to say thanx for the recommendation.

I agree, the internet is not very good for round the world or multistop fares. I found that the best way was to physically go to a specialist travel agent (Bridge the world in our case). The fare was less than the internet it was easier to discuss options etc. face to face with someone who knew what they were talking about.

Amazulu is correct. I have found the best method is to price the flight on the net, quote it to the travel agent and tell them the stop overs you want.

BTW you might only get the 20kg allowance on the internal flight if it is bought on a separate itinerary.

I haven't heard much good stuff about the United service and the US security checks and qs are getting out of hand.

We are flying with American Airlines. we've flown with them before, but many years ago. Do they have much leg room? We are also travelling with an infant - any tips on managing the journey - any freebies from the airline. What about tv screens behind seats? Also we are not looking forward to the security checks in the US

American Airlines are much better than United. They have the largest seat pitch, around 32" I think. We have flown both and would always choose them over United. Most of their planes have the seat back Tvs as well.

The security checks were not too bad. You get through pretty quickly and only have hold ups when you first enter the US. Internally security is minimal.

That's great, cos as it's a long haul flight, we'll need some small comforts!
