  • Yes, possibly even save some money. Etihad have a sale on for 1 week, as does KLM which might be interesting as you can start from London City, definitely a bonus.

    if i have a non direct flight will this keep the cost the same

    Malaysian are the only airline to fly direct to KL from Heathrow (plus Air Asia from Stansted) and you are usually looking at around £700 pp for a return flight. If you go indirect you have a much larger selection to choose from and can typically get a return for around £500 pp - so saving you about £400 for the two of you.

    I actually prefer indirect flights to SE Asia as I really can't cope with 12-13 hour flights. Go with one of the Gulf airlines (Emirates, Etihad , Qatar) and it breaks the flight up into two 6-7 hour legs with a couple of hours in the middle to stretch your legs.

    the problem is that all the agents are charging around £50 less for non direct flight

    but i have a cheap deal with wexas which has direct flights and is only 1400pp this is around£100 more then what everyone else was qouting me when malaysian airlines had the offer
  • If you wait there will probably be more flight offers, May is generally a cheap month for flights to the Far East, but most offers wont come up until nearer the time.

    At last Rajuv!

    What did you eventually book?

    As for insurance i'd try travelsupermarket comparison site. I've not booked my insurance yet but I think I remember worldwide quote for a couple at around £40, can't remember if it was annual or single trip though.
