How to beat a price on Bangkok flight?

Hi all.

Can anyone help - we have found a relatively good price for flight to Bangkok 18Dec - 4Jan 07 @ £633 each + taxes. This is with Turkish Airlines inc a stop in Istanbul for a few hours.

Can anyone advise where we could call that could beat this flight price?

Thanks

    Thanks all, looks like some of these are offering Kuwait flights that don't exist on the 17th (sunday!) - apparently the airline is fully booked and yet Dialaflight offered me flights? Another company then told me that I'd prob been offered a flight that didn't exist and would be put on a waiting list - can anyone explain this? I want to go on the 17th as it gives us an extra day but not if it's not a real booking!

    Thanks

    Yes!!! All booked up - managed to get prices from the above but the cheapest was an unknown - Southall Travel. They quoted £613 for Kuwait Airlines, so I booked an hour ago. Plus, it's from the 16th Dec 06 - 4th Jan 07, like a true Moneysaver not only did I get best price, I got 2 days included 'free'!

    Thank you everyone - it's going to be a fab Christmas & New Year ;o)
