    What you mean like flying via Helsinki and Tokyo with FinnAir?? Tell me how many stops are involved in getting to Auckland there..

    Fewer than multi connections in the Netherlands and China.

    Useless advice. It's not viable, it just adds in another connection at AMS and adds in missed connection risk.



    It highlights what they are getting for their money, you uselessly posted numerous China Southern itineraries and stayed silent on this very important issue, uselessly clogging this thread with useless content. Bad Advice.

    Important issue to you. Fifeken replied to you on this very subject and told that he didn't find much difference in the seating. Just perhaps narrower aisles.

    I post viable itineraries and then the travellers concerned can look into the reviews of the airline, as they claimed they would do earlier.

    But suggesting an itinerary costing £1541 is beyond the pale. Simply ridiculous. Then you continue to respond like a petulant child when someone points out your glaring mistake. You have lost all credibility on this website.
    Perhaps better you stick to headforpoints.

    .....suggesting an itinerary costing £....

    Narrower aisles are a problem, people and carts passing in the aisles hit aisle passengers' elbows.

    No itinerary was suggested, and thus it can't be priced.

    You were just blathering on about going from Birmingham to Amsterdam before continuing to Beijing. But with FinnAir, you would have to fly from London to Helsinki, before continuing to Tokyo. Dum de dum dum dum....

    You are seriously expert at back pedalling and obfuscation. :rotfl:

    In addition to this FinnAir would come in at double the price. Crazy.

    Narrower aisles are a problem, but so is paying double the price for an air ticket. Since this is a money saving website. We aim for the best value overall value.

    Someone paying £624, against £1300 might be prepared to put up with narrow aisles. :money:

    Why are you suggesting MH1 flight at 21.45 on a Saturday evening! they'd be better off being in the air and on their way Saturday daytime.

    Duh! They are coming in from Leicester....so they would have to leave there at 6am at the latest and have many possibilities to miss their flights, Mr Genius.
    In addition, if they finish school/studies on Friday, I think it sensible that they have time to prepare for their journey.
    Nevertheless, when they go to the website, they will be offered the choice. The earlier flight is a bit more expensive at £942.

    You are just making yourself look silly.

    Could be worth the marginal extra cost, or even the Friday 21.45 if they can make that.

    So price up the FinnAir itinerary and post it here. I suggest that it will be double.

    Words are easy. I've posted real itineraries replete with pricing.

    Here is your opportunity to post in what you believe. FinnAir itinerary for the 1st to the 16th of April 2017.

    Don't neglect to put in the Tokyo stopover.
