Skyclub :Flight to Sydney

After a bit of advice:

I have been looking to book a return flight business class from UK to Sydney.

The date of flight would be on or around Fri -12th Aug 2011 - Return 26th Aug 2011

The cheapest I have found is £2,400 through a company called Skyclub

Couple of questions.

1) Has any body used or has any experience of skyclub and do they do what they say on the tin ?

2) If any one knows of a cheaper ticket from UK (London , Birmingham ,Manchester) to Sydney on or around that date I would be interested ..This would of course need to be business class.

Thanks in advance

    Personally I have not heard of a booking agency called Skyclub (I think I have heard of them as a flying points collecting).

    I have had a quick look at the dates you gave for business class and you can fly with Qantas business class on the exact dates from £2105 (there are still some business saver deals on their website at the moment). These flights are from London.

    That was my thinking when I looked at the website. There's no downside to using a points/miles agency only they have far fewer flights available.

    The quote you have is competitive, but do be sure which airline you are on before paying, and ensure the carrier has a true 'business class', and not some dodgy recliner seat.

    Around £2k is the benchmark at the moment, but there are reports of around £1.7k on FT, which are realistic, particularly if you transit via another hub.
