I might be able to dig up the list from my emails to show you.

Interesting, at Emirates we can still only do it for relatives and have to provide proof of relationship - if caught doing it for say a theoretical "cousin" instant dismissal! Maybe you are down as a houseboy

I tend to look at www.amadeus.net as this has a list of airlines and shows you who is cheapest and also availability. Very good site.

Re: Cheap flights to London

I'd say keep checking Etihads website.
I got two flights to bring my mum and son out from Manchester airport for 269 quid inc all taxes and that was a couple of weeks ago. However a friend just came out and paid the usual 550 inc tax so guess its luck
