Beware cheap flights to Oz

The latest MSE is showing cheap flights to Oz. But beware the seats in economy on airlines such as Qatar Airways are tiny, narrow with limited legroom. Going to Oz or NZ in these seats might be cheap but are very uncomfortable. It may be worth paying slightly more for the comfort of BA where the seat area is somewhat larger....by personal experience.

    This would surely be down to common sense as to the saying you get what you pay for ! , Personally I always look at various price ranges on most items and then work out what best suits my needs.

    Qatar were fine when I flew, more comfortable than BA from what I remember.

    Then why are you posting this in the Report Bargains forum - surely the Flights or main Overseas forums are much more appropriate and likely to reach more people?
