"At these prices, Europe has never been more affordable!"
I got my flights for $1400 in 2009, seen them as low as $1200 to London since.
So actually Europe has been more affordable even in my limited recent memory.You cant compare 2009 prices with 2011! - 2009 was post GFC so airline prices were at an all time low. Nowadays fares start from about $1600+ for full service airlines. You probably wont get Emirates/Singapore for less then $1900 nowadays. Cathy are not a bad airline.
FerretallicA is still correct though; "Europe HAS been more affordable" than the prices offered now.
I think these prices are reasonably standard. For the same amount you can fly through KL/SIN, and you don't have to travel as long. Stopovers through HK can be lengthy as well.
The headline rate is for Perth to Moscow in the low season.
Perth is not Australia, Moscow is not Europe!
Gotta say, when the next step up is $220 dearer - $1894 - it's a big difference from the lead-in rate advertised.
Fares are normally substantially cheaper out of Perth, as you'd expect, so this isn't really much of a bargain. Fares from other cities are around $1900, then $2200, then $2350 depending on season which is pretty similar to the other specials from first tier airlines.
didnt think moscow is europe
Yeah, damn them Russian Africans…
Bought $600 one way to London August 2012 with air asia with sale two months ago and whilst you cant compare the two airlines, that is a damn big difference!
you dont have to neg this deal! - you are not comparing apples with apples. Its ok for a full service airline.
I do agree with you that I am not compaing apples with apples, however the $600 (which incl taxes) includes luggage, in flight entertainment and meal, so the thought of spending an extra $600+ for a few minor added features seems a bit much
I believe I paid just under 1300$ Mel to Madrid thru Korean Air in Feb or March this year.
Best flight 2 weeks ago has Europe for $1300 east coast I think it was Swiss air or south china
iv had friends fly recently with Cathay - The Service was Appalling… Food was bland, Had to ask for drinks and the service was abysmal.
They will never fly cathay again on thos extremely long haul flights again… I flew with Singapore and was the best service iv had in a long time - and i fly alot.
They currently have a specia to Europe to London for $2000 and other "Uro" cities from ~$1800
Malaysia Air had tickets a month or 2 ago from SYD > PAR or LON for $1250 return.
Singapore also recently had sales very recently for around the same price as Cathay, albeit service is a WHOLE lot better with Singapore.
OZB people, is this the cheapest fare to europe??
