I think you might have got it cheaper booking directly with EVA.

I'm new to EVA and have been looking at their website. What's the deal with their Open Return tickets? Has anyone used this prior and what are the disadvantages?

[luv.you.long.time]

Im booking a seat just now for a friend for Feb 2010 for 3 weeks.

 

West East Travel are cheaper than Eva's website (by £18).

 

The agent is saying that Eva Airlines are increasing all prices from 26th September 2009 onwards. So if you are booking, I would do it before then.

I have used their open return a couple of times. It's nice if you do not know exactly when you want to come back, but they do charge a higher price for it. The last time I used it I think they charged me 250.00 usd more for open end than they were charging for a fixed return. Hope this helps.

I got the email below from EVA 2 days ago. It refers to fares FROM £428 so I guess that fare was not available for your particular dates.

Yeah Bazie , I gather the weekend flights are a bit more expensive. ^^

[luv.you.long.time]

yeah, I tried to book weekend flights in February 2010 and they were all showing between 650-730 (GBP) and when you click on the Monday or Tuesday, it was down to £429.

LYLT: I'm sorry but that's nonsense. Your agent's just trying to get you to bite now. Go to the Eva website. Look for HOT-E-FARES. It will show you the best prices on the web until next March or so. The closer to excursion date - the cheaper they get. So if you're flexible you can get a fabulous deal. Fares are pretty cheap until Nov 30, get expensive until New Years, then go down again. Usually you can get a nice deal until 2 weeks before Christmas. To purchase you'll need to join the Evergreen Club, which you should do anyway. One RT in Deluxe will net you enough miles for a bump up to Biz. Well worth it. wj

Ahhh, thanks for this.

Sorry to put wrong info on the board. I was just repeating what the agent said. I was caught between a rock and a hard place: Cheap tickets from London means I need to buy internal flights which were already showing as "2 seats left" for the cheap pricing. If I wait till last minute for the long haul flight, what I save there, I will lose on the internal flights to London.

 

Its not easy sometimes !

i just booked a flight with eva air for xmas it cost me £1000 i am going for 3 weeks i dont know why people book in november when xmas at home is so boring i would rather spend it in pattaya with a thai honey.

[luv.you.long.time]

Oh my buddha ! I knew it wasn't cheap, but I didn't realise it was THAT expensive to fly at that time of the year.

[Bazle]

I've just booked with EVA through Netflights. Much cheaper than WestEast of directly through EVA. You have to play around with arrival and departure dates as the fares vary quite a lot but I've got departure on 13 Jan and return on 28 Jan for £437.

 

I know the price could go down nearer the time but, with the £ plummeting, my guess is that that won't happen.

[skitts7]

i booked my flight with EVA through thewisemiser.com from 29th nov return on 29th dec for £440 cant wait

[Chezney]

I'm booked through EVA website in Feb 2010 for 3 weeks for £435.. suits me fine.
