    Try searching on skyscanner or kayak for flights. When putting in a date, search for the whole month rather than a specific date as it can make a big difference. Also check the flight times, what could look like a £30 saving could also be a 12 hour stop over on both legs.

    Yeah I've spied some of ridiculous stop over times. Thats one reason I like the Abu Dhabi route - it gives a 4 hour stop over which for me is just enough time to stretch your legs and have a breather and then get back to it (plus allows a generous amount for flight delays etc.)

    Agree.

    Good airline, good routing, and usually one of the cheapest.

    Also, you can choose your seats for all segments in advance, online, plus check in online both outward and return flights... which saves a lot of waiting around at NAIA.

    They've just sent me one of their silver loyalty cards the other day... so slightly above peasant class now.

    What bonuses do you get with that card? When I called to book for my fiance's return trip the other week they said that I should create a new account for myrself and claim air miles from February and then i can combine them with hers and get her an upgrade to business class. I did that and then they denied my claim for the old miles, saying they were too old. It was their idea!! grrr. They are fairly decent though, the meals are ok too. When my fiance first came over I ordered her an asian vegetarian meal by mistake when I booked. She wasn't best impressed and so couldn't eat on the plane. Luckily she had money to buy something at NAIA beforehand.

    Look out for cheap deals with Cathay Pacific because stopovers at Hong Kong are usually around two hours or less plus the airport there is one of the best in the world.

    I've managed to get a flight for just over £450 before, but it is quite rare to get one that low.
