My family and I want to go on holiday to Saudi as we have family living there. We want to go on the 7th of july and return on the 29th of August (6 adults and 2 kids). The best price we've gotten so far is for direct which is £420 per adult and £345 per child. We're currently looking to see if there are any cheaper ones out there but don't want to wait too long because obviously these £420 tickets could be taken up quickly and those flights could no longer be available for us. We don't want to spend too much because we have to get a visa aswell on top of it which is pretty expensive.

I've already checked out skyscanner, BA, opodo, expedia, ebookers, cheap flights, southall travel, so yeh pretty much alot. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other travel agencies or sites that I could check or even comparison websites. I've searched, but some of them seem to be not genuine and some of the sites seem to quote differently than when you call up which is annoying.

Thanks in advance for any help.

EDIT: Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

    Where do you want to fly from?

    I'll assume London.

    £420 pp appears to be a great price for direct flights both ways. Cheapest I can find for direct is £476 pp with Saudi Airlines (£3689.84 total).

    I can find £420 pp for indirect, with Etihad (£3253.84 total). (Long transfer though).

    Given the choice, I'd favour Etihad over Saudi Airlines any day, and I'd pay more to fly with them too, even if it's indirect.

    Yeah from Heathrow. Me and my siblings actually want indirect, just a chance to chill out in another country for a while lol, but my parents want direct, but they don't mind so long as it's the cheaper option. Can i just ask, what website did you search on as we wanna book asap as most of the excellent deals are getting booked?

    Skyscanner, which found the £3253.84 Etihad flights on Opodo. Don't forget Quidco.

    Also see if the Etihad website is cheaper than Opodo. I didn't check that. And don't forget Quidco on that either.

    Really? I just searched scyscanner and cheapest it's giving is £425 for indirect and £436 for direct. I guess the other ones must have got booked already, damn. Checked etihad too, expensive lol.

    EDIT: Searched opodo and it's giving me £3341.60 total, egypt air though which i dunno how good it is, which is not too bad, but hopefully i can find one about £100-£200 cheaper, a long shot though.
