    I have been quoted £ 2499 x 2 for flights from Manchester to Brisbane via Sydney next March using the Star Alliance ie Finnair, B. A and Quantas with free stop overs in Hong Kong on the outward leg and Bangkok on the return. I would welcome any comments on whether this is a reasonable price and your thoughts on the airlines concerned plus any other relevant comments.

    Thanks Del - I thought as much. Tried to build the package myself online but could only come up with a £100 saving and i'd rather have the secuirty of booking through an agent (plus the ocnvenience of paying a deposit rather than in full!)

    Thanks for looking though!

  • I have posted this in another section on the forum, sorry i don't know which is the correct place.

    I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good places to go on a honeymoon. We get married on 20th August 2011 and are looking to spend about £800. We don't mind where but it must be All Inclusive.

    Thank you in advance for your help
