    I require return flights for two adults from Manchester Airport to Bangkok leaving the UK on Friday 12th October and returning on Saturday 27th October. We would prefer to fly with a well renowned airline. We will also require a vegetarian flight meal, would this cost extra? We don't mind a stop as long as this doesn't exceed 4 hours in duration.

    The best quote I have had so far is £522 per person, flying with Emirates with a stop over in Dubai, can you beat this?
