Oman Air currently have an excellent fare to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, flying out of Zurich and back into London from £214 return.
Departures December 'til June. Two month ticket methinks. Latest return in July...I think.

    Overnight?? Why would you need an overnight to catch a flight leaving Zurich at 22.15?

    It is cheap. Some will have FF miles to take them to Zurich. Others can pay £50 for a flight and luggage taking the price to £265.

    Some can just fly with a full fare airline such as Swiss or BA for £100, taking the price to £314.

    Show me anything that comes close.

    I wonder why you are posting. Your advice is never auspicious.

    Notwithstanding the ridiculous comment from Kernow666, you can put together an amazingly cheap trip to OZ in conjunction with Air Asia.

    For example in January, you can fly with them to Perth for as little as £135 in January. £160 with 20kg of checked luggage.

    So one can put together a twin centre holiday(Kuala Lumpur and Perth) flight combination easily for around £400.

    I was thinking exactly the same thing.

    You can convert the miles you'd earn for around £15 in cash too if you credit to etihad (assuming you have no use for a small amount of miles), making it roughly £200!

    You can also have a stopover in muscat for about a tenner (or free if you only want one day and select the flights with a 28hr duration).

    Sample dates to Perth(to incorporate a stopover in KL):

    Airport hotel for £25 as the Air Asia return flight from Perth arrives either lunchtime or at night the day before the Oman flight takes off. I would take the afternoon flight, arrive at 22.55, sleep and the airport hotel and walk to the departure terminal refreshed for the flight to London in the morning.


    Of course you could avoid this by having your KL stopover at the end of the trip. But I think it's better at the beginning, after a long journey from London.

    One can also fly into Perth and out of Sydney/Gold Coast/Melbourne/Bali.....
