    how did you get such cheap flights and hotel stay? just checking the ba site?
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    but thats an incredible rip off? £133 in taxes.

    any airline can say flights are £4 but adding £567 in taxes and charges does not make it cheap AT ALL. wow.

    OK, i am very interested in going to Hong Kong for 150 all in, but what happens if the airlines goes bust before I take my flight, do I lose my money or can I claim it back from my credit card?

    If you pay buy CC you should be covered and your card provider should pay the money back to you.

    BA taxes are £116 to HK, so these are no different really. Hong Kong - Chep Lap Kok and Heathrow are two of the most expensive airports to land/takeoff at - in addition I think it includes a "fuel surcharge".

    Site is now allowing bookings at £150 return INCLUSIVE of tax. Has anyone gone ahead and booked this - is it an error?

    Yes , it's an error and they know about it. I ended up booking by phone. The HK support isn't open but I think yiu might find the booking crashes after you have given cc details. Easier to phone 01293 596633 and at least you will know you have seats. They are aware the tax is not being included .. ( the space by tax is blank rather than it being included)
