Okay looks like I missed the great price war bargains.

Went to Travel Agent today to book 3 weeks back in the UK this July. I've just spent all weekend looking for a great deal and couldn't find suitable availability. I'm flexible with my dates but want to be in Aberdeen for the 10th.

$2300 each is the very cheapest they can do and that's with KLM (euch!!)

I have the flights currently on hold. Should I go for it or do you think there may be another sale before then?

Sally Simpson

That's very expensive!

I guess it depends how desperate you are to be there

midgetjan

Yeh I thought it was very expensive too - but they wanted $3300 to fly with Singapore.

Sally Simpson

Presume you have tried the airlines direct? Is it any cheaper if you fly in June?

midgetjan

It's my silver wedding anniversary on 10th July. Family are planning a party so really need to be there then...

Return flights from Perth to Heathrow are about 1400 at the minute. Surely it must be cheaper to fly to London, then book a flight from there to Aberdeen whilst in the UK

midgetjan

None of those prices are available for July - even for LHR

Cheapest flight with Maylasian leaving Perth 6th July returning 20th $1442

Then get a quote from a UK comparison site for Heathrow to Aberdeen.

Grrr just double checked my link. Price now unavailable. I'm sure if you keep searching the net you will find a decent price. Good luck

midgetjan

Thanks for that - I tried too and couldn't get any available.

I've checked here:

and its not as far as you think.

Do National Express not run a service?

midgetjan

It's the flight from Aus to UK I'm having trouble finding availability with.

Looks like all the good deals have gone.
