Accountants in the airlines have figured out that some people in the Gulf have more money than they need ! The pricing of tickets is the airlines method of wealth-redistribution !

The lowly paid suffer the most, all to fund the deep pockets of Emirates/Qatar owners.

What's the excuse for Australians being fleeced by airlines then?

I'm looking at the mo too.

Have 2 wedding left this year. No.1 in London at the start of Oct and the other in Glasvegas at the end of Nov. Added in a cheeky stopover in the Dam on the way back in Sept..... some decent prices coming back if I group them all together and fly into London for the second wedding (which is not an issue).

Playing the game, making notes, doing the research and finding a good deal with sensible flights etc is always a good way to spend a morning.

Plus, if you do it at work, you're getting paid to do it.
