Hi Doolish, That is a good price for Emirates on current prices. My daughter just recently visited me (Aug 16th --> Sept 5th) and she paid GBP620 ,inclusive of taxes, Manchester to Bangkok. My sister & hubby are coming out 2nd December, Man --> Bkk, for 4 weeks and they are paying GBP579 + taxes. It is difficult to know so far ahead whether prices will go up or down. However I am a frequent flier with Emirates and have been for a few years. After 9-11 when air travel collapsed, well it was always best to leave it until last minute, as good deals were there to be had. Now

Hi Tom, An excellent site for the FF. I have just spent 30 brief minutes there and it is a mine of info. My preferred airline is Emirates and I can therefore relate to the info they give at this site on this particular operator, it is extremely accurate. Many thanks for thr introduction... 8) 8) 8)

Hi Valentinoxxx It is difficult to reply with a comparison, as there are so many factors involved, time of year, destination, flight times etc. A perfect example of what a good agency can do for you is an arrangement I have just been organising with an agent of many years in UK. This was for my sister to come and visit at Xmas and I paste the agents reply :- I have looked at the flights for Elaine and Malcolm and have held a couple of seats on the flights you requested.

Hi rcj, I am a frequent flier and have been for many a year. My penny's worth is that we are now seeing something very different than before. In the past, when there was a drop in passenger loadings, yes, airlines would heavily discount, especially at the last minute. This time around however, what with the Iraq war, SARS, the threat of terrorism etc, yes there seem to be less people flying, but the major airlines are not discounting too much. Instead they are reducing their scheduled flights, going down for example from 7 days a week to 4 days a week etc, less seat availability, but p

Hi Mike, Try "ALL SEASONS TRAVEL" in Pattaya Tai, opposite Friendship Supermarket. I travel every month with my job, used them for a couple of years, together with my colleagues.

Hi again Derek, In reply to your question regarding my use of Emirates, well I have worked overseas, mainly in the Middle East, since 1976. During this time I have travelled on many, many airlines and therfore consider myself quite knowledgeable in this field. I have been based in Dubai since 1986 and have flown Emirates for several years, practically since their conception as an International Airline. My Company do pay for all busines related flights, but it is on an expense account basis. The airline I use and the flight arrangements (within reason) are 100% by personal choice. As I
