chivas Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Circumstances dictate that for the first time in nearly 20 years I will be obliged to fly in that high shoulder fare period in July. Have done all the websites (and should have booked on Air India at £479 previously but baulked !) so if anyone knows of any "specials" they may have received via emails etc would be grateful if you would share. Suspects at the moment seem to be Jet at around £650. 2 month ticket required. Thanks. Edited June 8, 2011 by chivas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etihad are around £750-80. I'm gold on Etihad and those prices dont exist anymore. They have bought their customer base and raised prices long ago.

Seedy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Have a look at Eva air. I found them to be the best value recently. If it flies, floats or fucks - it will be cheaper to rent ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes prices drop August 11th onwards will some agents and the 16th with the rest. May just postpone trip till mid august where jet and kingfisher are offered £480/490.

Digsy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Change the day you fly in and out, for my October flights returning on the Monday was 300 cheaper than the day before lol check the Eva air site, heard very good st the minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattayarox Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I booked Air India last week got it for under 550, you won't get any real good deal's cheapest I seen was Jet 610, mad prices lately. Couple of tips I do know are. There is a min of 40quid extra charge for booking weekend flight's with airlines. So try book for midweek out flights and return flight;s midweek too, also there will be a 3% charge for booking with Credit card so add another 20 onto your price there too. Try this site it is the best out there http://www.ticketstoworld.co.uk/wscalender/FltResult.aspx When the search gives you the result it normally gives 1 flight, go down the page and you will see in red heading :click to check other flights for same dates" this will give you loads of other flights sometimes cheaper too Current lowest I can find is 619 with Kingfisher through that site 12th July till 8th September Also when talking to AGENTS tell them you can get it for around 519 (or whatever price) with Air India through a different company they will come down in price, and even sometimes I've had agents ring me back a half hour later saying "we have found a SPECIAL deal just for you" CountdownClockCodes.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz boy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I use 'Dial a flight' 0844 811 4444 regularly and they quote £520 at the moment. I talk nicely and sometimes beg, and can get a flight normally about 10% on the advertised if I speak about sick buffalo etc. Worth a try. For those talking about Jet - I have flown with them, who cares about the flight as long as I get to LOS. NB I have no commercial interest in Dial a flight - straight up.
