I've booked direct with KLM for May. They undercut everyone else (Crystal Travel for example). Manchester-Amsterdam-Manila return flight £529. But I noticed it was double that towards Christmas.

The problem with haggling for a cheap price usually means you what you pay for, crap airline, crap service, crap food, long periods in a foreign airport, etc
I prefer to select what model of plane I'm on, the airline, and around a 2 hour changeover. This obviosuly isn't the cheapest but it makes the holiday more enjoyable as the travel is part of the holiday and should be enjoyed.Keith Driscoll - Administrator

I always check on prices using www.kayak.co.uk . You can also set up an email alert to tell you what the latest price is and you can use the chart to decide when is best to travel or when is best to buy the ticket. I then generally buy the ticket direct from the airline.

I always visit crystal travel LadyJ. They offer cheap flights. But if I can afford Emirates, I'll choose it for me and my husband.

www.travelsupermarket.com
www.kayak.co.uk
www.skyscanner.net
are all pretty good for scoping out deals and cover a lot of tickets, but some of the agencies get special deals.

Thats a hard 1 to answer as most of the companys mentioned and others not mentioned have different offer fares every week. I always go on cathey pacific now because its the shortest flying time to manila or cebu from london and also the least hassle to change your ticket,(after you call them), as in the past ive always paid the date change fee at the NAIA on my departure day if ive had to change, other airlines you have to go to makati to there office well in advance to pay the fee if you want change ur ticket date.I always go on net to find best deal, i got a flight for this year on cathey for £583 with crystal travel but not in december when prices are high. Also ive bin on kuwait 3 times a few years ago and never fly that airline again just to save a few quid.

Did you booked throught their website or over the phone?
May I know much they offered you? Crystal travel offered me £580 from 24Dec-27Jan with Cathay Pacific and I thought it was a very good price!!
This is a good price!! did you booked it online or over the phone?
For the rest of the members... thanks for all your good tipsNot an expert, I only try to help.

Less than 60% of the total cost is for the actual ticket, the rest is taxes, etc
We got our LA flights on airmiles, but we only get the ticket free, the taxes, etc, cost us about £200 each.Keith Driscoll - Administrator

Kuwait wasn't too bad, certainly not up there with emirates, qatar etc but the food and service was fine. The stopover in kuwait was 5 hours tho, bit boring, and a also a stopover in bangkok that nobody mentioned
