Hi Folks,
So we are looking at going to the UK over xmas period (between 11th and 29th December) and ive been checking the usual suspects, SKyscanner, cheapoair, Expedia, Kayak etc, and ive not seen any particularly special offers.(from Perth btw)
As i am pretty restricted with the travel dates should i hold out and wait for a special… or should i just bite the bullet and pay (imo too much) now to be safe?
Does Qantas or Emirates have regular sales coming up?
Cheers, yes its a bit a tricky one… tried the MAtrix Thanks.. didnt work on this occasion, but one i hadnt heard of so ill keep in mind .thanks
Yep you can't say one way or the other unless you work for those airlines but flying between Christmas and New Years is never a cheap time…
Happy to look at some cheaper alternatives if you give some more information.. How many people? Young children? Do you want to stop anywhere in Asia on the way over? Spending the whole time in UK? London or elsewhere?
Thanks…
2 adults, prefer minimal stops, (both number and time), perfect would be arriving in BHX or East Mids.
will be travelling, hiring a car and staying 3/4 different spots. (none London)
Cheers
Answering this question is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string! Airlines will, as I understand it, calculate their probable loadings and adjust their prices accordingly. Reckon you should look at leaving as early as possible as school holidays are always premium prices.
Have you looked at possibility of flying to Singapore or Malaysia or Bangkok, all important hubs and then flying on from there? Sometimes you can pick up a cheap fare that way.
Norwegian air is one airline that is fairly basic and flies out from BKK. Also look at Finnair. Try Hong Kong as a central hub too.
