Zugara Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Sometimes it is cheaper to book a package rather than just the flights. Also if you opt for the longer route, it might be cheaper but takes longer to get there... Finding them might just be a case of internet searching?

BladesGrant Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 have you tried skyscanner? Its a flight comparison site so saves you some of the work and then you can start to look individually. Might be a good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxi-glasgow Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 A site I use frequently when booking flights to the States is orbitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz0 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I booked with emirates when i was travelling to oz ....... they where the cheapest by far Emirates are IMO one of the best people to fly to Australia with. Their service is great, and I've tried a few to compare them with. If your going on a 17+ hour flight to Australia it's probably best not to save pennies and go for the milk run route because it kills you.

BladesGrant Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I have also used Emirates loads for my flights to India, they are definitely one of my favorite airlines, but nobody touches Jet imo. I flew business class with them and seriously I couldn't see how it could have gotten any better with free massages and lapdances!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 hhhahaha nah mate no burka... most of them where blonde......and after a few beers...... it was good eye candy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbowey Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 cheers for the responses, think i will pay a little extra for the shorter flight time. seems logical, plus everywhere i look is coming out round about the same anyway.
