£475 leave good Friday April 2, cheapest flight I've had in 6 attempts. China Airlines from Newcastle.

Who did you book your flight with if you don't mind me asking?

I flew back from my xmas trip with Air China. Beijing airport is very nice, lots of smoking rooms & power points for your laptop; I could think of a lot worse places to have a layover. :)

On the downside, it looks like my annual Christmas trip is on hold, prices are crazy for leaving December 15.

emirates - £800+, can be had a little cheaper so as long as you don't mind a 8 hour layover lol.
China - £1000+
finnair - £930

past 2 years paid no more than £630, won't be going unless the prices come down.

Don't worry about xmas. If last year is anything to go by, prices will come down after the summer.

Peace. :Chokdee:

When are they not screwing us?

I booked direct from the China airlines website, about 6 months ago.

Yeah, I reckon at least china's December prices will come down considerably a bit later on in the year...bloody hope so, can't imagine being in the UK for Christmas hehe.

Just Booked :Party3: :)

April 6th, Heathrow to BKK, Jet Airways, £394.57, returning July 13th.

Booked on Ebookers but used Travelsupermarket to search.

Played around with the dates a lot and pretty much every combination of dates gave a different price. The same dates were also cheaper today than when I looked over the weekend, there's no rhyme or reason to it at all. Just have to keep looking and when you see something you're happy with get it BOOKED before it goes!

See you there guys :GoldenSmile1: :LMFO:

going out on the April 16th cost me £560, but i did book them only last about 6 weeks ago through westeasttravel.com now at £680

Check them at least twice daily and always tick the box: +/- 1 day If you are flexible with your dates there can be some good savings.

I paid £403 with Etihad from Heathrow on May 21st through opodo. I did consider EVA (who I always used) which was £476 on the day I booked. It did shoot up to £612 the next day but a week later came back down. They fluctuate so much 1 day to the next it will always be hit and miss. Generally I am happy with anything under £500 as the stuff I bring back reimburses the flight.
