Cheap flights needed - Urgent! Please help
I have to get back to the UK asap and am just wondering if anyone knows of any cheap flights from Auckland to Manchester? The cheapest one I've come across is with Emirates at $3075 
It's just one adult, no kids.
It really is urgent. Please can anyone help

Re: Cheap flights needed - Urgent! Please help
Oh gawd Michelle&Carl.
I just had to do similar back beginning of Jan 09. Actually Jan 1st 09. The cheapest flights I found after hoours on the interenet and making phone calls was with Emirates. Depending on the reason , you may be able to get a discount if you phone them. I didn't do this but they were really very caring.
If you are needing to get back urgent, just check the flight hours and route. Makes for stress.
Sorry I can't help more. I wish I could.

Re: Cheap flights needed - Urgent! Please help
Just a quick note about this subject of having to get home like Yesterday!!!!
Sometimes it isn't that easy as we don't budget for things like that happening but 1 think we've been made aware off is that it could happen...
May i make a suggestion to everyone that may one day find themselves in this situation...
Kinsure is a Medical Emergency Repatriation Insurance policy.
• Kinsure is designed for anyone who has close relatives living abroad:
It allows you to get to any of your close relatives who live abroad in the event of a serious accident, serious illness or death;
and/or
Your close relatives to get to you and your immediate family in the event of a serious accident, serious illness or death.
and it isn't that expensive either only:
ANNUAL PREMIUMS Single Couple Family Europe £50 £95 £125
Worldwide £105 £150 £175
and you also get 10% discount if you mention BRITSNZ....
Trust me it gives you just that little peace of mind knowing that you could get there or they could get here if need be

Re: Cheap flights needed - Urgent! Please help
I've had a policy Kinsure for a year now and have just renewed it. Can't use it for relatives over 75 but in our case all parents and siblings are covered.
Whilst I haven't had to claim yet I have had communication with them and this has been excellent.
Sorry - I know it doesn't help in this particular case. I wish you well
