Feb travel

[nidnoyham]

Got a quote from West East for Feb' LHR/BKK/LHR

 

Eva £465 + £95 tax + £25 charge for return date change.

 

TG £485 + £98 ?? tax, no charge for return date change.

 

 

Or, I could use my airline stand- by status, for about £140 same route. Only get on if seat available.

 

Wodja think ?

If you've got 'airline standby status', you could possibly use http://www.touchdown.co.uk/ to fly to Thailand for £249 return, plus PSC and security/fuel surcharges with Etihad for that 'secured' seat.

Sorry but what is 'airline standby status' ?

Sorry, I should have made it clearer. I am a retired a/line employee, so still qualify for discount travel on a space available status. You can get offloaed at any time up to departure. Thing is, waiting Bangkok airport 'till 1230 am 40 mins before pushback, to know if you are travelling or not, can be a bit stressfull. My Sister in Law travelled to Canada with us once. She swore she would never do it again. Her husband had a leaflet with the configuration of a DC9 at the departure gate at Vancouver, he was counting the revenue passengers as they boarded. Last flight to Edmonton. We got on, but only just.

 

Thanks VALENTINO, I had forgoten about Touchdown.
