they charged me for 2 tickets! I definitly only bought 1 ticket.. after about 20 phone calls (average of half an hour for each call) and 5 months wait i was refunded money for extra ticket less an admin fee of £30. i'm unhappy about admin fee and have already wasted another hour on phone today but got cut off before sorted. they blame ethiad airways but i feel they have messed me around with this admin fee and hours and hours of phone calls which very little info given to me each time. they agreed immediatley they were in the wrong charging me for 2 tickets, yet they gave very little info to me about a refund blaming the airline- i.e. they should have refunded me immediatley and got the money back off the airline themselves as it was their mistake.

thg had Qatar available 2nd jan- 9th feb yesterday for £519

well i didn't win £530 30 dec- 4 feb. but its on singapore air flying to manilla and comming back from bangkok bargain if you ask me, and if Qatar is a 5 star airline then Singapore must be a 7 star

great way to get around the world cheaply. very easy to change dates. i did one with BA/Quantas for £900 ish about 5 years ago. do it!

from THG?

does anyone have advice on best option in doing a trip to pattaya and AC? i've found 2 options with THG: Qatar: man-doha-manilla make my own way to bkk from clark via kuala lumpur on asia air bkk-doha-man cost £590 ish Thai: man-london-bkk-manilla manilla-bkk bkk-london-man cost £690 ish (man-london on bmi) singapore air is the only one doing direct flight to asia (sin) but connections to manilla/bkk mean very long waits. both options work out at 6 flights, benefit of thai air are much better flight to bkk (i.e one long flight and nicer service/seats). these prices are early january so may be cheaper at other times. anyone done similar or have any other options, i can't make my bloody mind up

you should get a nice suprise when you recieve tickets- a few nights accomodation in a decent hotel- free thg have to sell flights as if a package holiday - hence the free accomodation.

just got back after a trip using this deal (£419 with 3 nights). decent hotel, but if you want to stay longer you have to book online (900) or they charge you much more (1350). do it the day before too or they hassle you for money. not impressed with the flights- stopping half way in doha is a nightmare and the on board facilities aren't as good as other airlines. it saved £100 or so but next time i'll fork out for a more direct flight (maybe with thai from london or manchester if they start doing it). paying the extra is worth it for 1 long flight as if you can sleep it avoids jet lag at both ends of the trip.

flying in from uk (via doha) arrive 7.45pm anyone want to share the cost of a taxi?

i've been told that visiting a sun bed shop a few times before a trip will give you a mild tan and help you stop getting burned, and therefore allow you more time in the sun to get a decent tan. sounds like it might just eliminate those 1st few days when you are shitting it about getting burnt. anyone tried this method or are you all like me and couldn't really give a shit?

give these guys a call, they got me there from early sept for £419 (from man), they even threw in 3 nights free accomodation at sunshine vista appartments. http://thgholidays.co.uk/thg/index.asp?section=flightonly
