Re: flights from 99 pound
Looks like we can do it too, as usual its way more expensive from australia :mad: the 99 becomes $539 on most dates and you have to add $350 approx in taxes.

Re: flights from 99 pound
I once picked up a cheap charter flight ticket from the UK to Sydney (with Airtours), and it was the worst flight of my life.
Things started to go wrong even before takeoff, when they told us we had to buy the headphones for the entertainment, and also all of our drinks The food was pants, basically I reckon they bought a job lot of stale British Rail sandwiches: they were like roofing tiles. We had seats directly in front of a bulkhead, but since they had crammed so many seats on the plane, we couldnt recline ours (thanks to the bulkhead) The padding on the seats was 1cm thick, and 3 hours into the flight, everything went numb. My wife managed to collect huge bruises on the oinsides of both her legs: one leg copped it on the seat armrest getting up, and the other copped it getting back into her seat This was the only flight I had been on where everybody cheered when we finally touched down in Sydney. Luckily our return flights were with Cathay and BA: there would have been no way I would have flown back with this company. |
Re: flights from 99 pound
I don't know what the current cost of kerosine is, but UK - Oz must cost one or two hundred £ per seat. Not really much future in selling the seat for £99...
(Oh, I forgot to add - you need to buy the airplane, pay the landing fees, pay the overflying fees, maintain the thing, possibly even pay a few staff too. Probably not worth getting insurance though.... |
Re: flights from 99 pound
Hey, I just called them to find out which airline they use.....
Wouldnt tell me but did send me a pic of the plane! Take your own lifejackets and sandwiches: http://www.koolhoven.com/history/fk26/albessard.jpg |

You think you are helping people, letting them know, and this is the thanks you get. And if the food is crap, you can take something with you, most of the food is crap anyway whether you are payng 99 or 600 dollars. |

Bear in mind, opinions are like arseholes...we all have one and they all stink!! I think it is good to have an opinion...it is what adds to a conversation and shows people every side of the coin!! Chill out dude! :) :) |
Re: flights from 99 pound
I agree with you. If I could have got a flight for £99 I wouldnt care how many stops I had or what the food was like.
