I realy dont think this thread is working.
Most people dont answer PM's I for one dont bother anymore. I am tired of spending hours hunting and get no reply or posted edited. Like Sam said WHY BOTHER if people cant even reply

One thing to add is that point to point flights are largely going to be ignored. Some online companies mark-up flights by 3% (eb**kers, expedia etc). Why not compare a variety of online companies, and then ring up a couple of consultants who will be able to look at things in a different manor. It will normally not be worth anyone pro-actively looking on your behalf to try and undercut a £10 mark-up.

If you've got a £300 flight to India, don't post it on here and wait 3 weeks for a non-existent response - be pro-active, check its the cheapest yourself, otherwise, it'll have gone.

Looking to beat the following price (willing to travel on different airline if needs be!):

One way flight from LHR to AKL, departing Cathay Pacific flight CX254 @ 2235 15 May 2008, via Hong Kong. Arriving HK @ 1750 16 May, departing HK @ 2015 16 May, arriving AKL @ 1155 17 May.

Total cost quoted including taxes etc £419.99 (Airfares Basement). Don't think it's possible to beat that but prepared to be proven wrong!

Thanks
Hannah
