• Cheapest Business class fare to Europe

    Pilotdude09 is trying to figure out the most cost-effective way of travelling to Europe in Business Class in mid September, returning late October. Our member is
    getting really frustrated in trying to find the cheapest way
    so asked our advice.

    One suggestion is to fly Economy to a SE Asian destination and
    then continuing on Business to London - that could save you a couple thousand dollars. eg. PER - SGN return = $560 on Jetstar and SGN - BKK - AUH - LHR = $2574 return on Etihad + Vietnam Airlines in Business
    Another SE Asian option is to fly Qatar from Bali
    Qatar airlines have cheap business class fares from Bali (DPS). For example DPS-LHR is US$4,072.63 return. It is expensive to get to Bali in business class from Perth, although it is very cheap in economy
    And then there is some sound advice from MH_fan
    Don't book your ticket until around mid Feb. That's when the sale fares (including those for business class) get released for the 2nd half of the year. Currently, you'll be looking at the $6500-$7000 mark for your travel dates but wait until next month and you'll probably be able to score a ticket for <$6000. My other suggestion would be to check the various airline websites individually, as they may have great fares which travel agents don't have access to. For example, I'm looking at flights to London (from Sydney) in October and Malaysian are offering $9300 in first class all the way on their website but every travel agent is quoting $15000!

    I got badly caught in Darwin at the IHG a while ago and got a huge bill (>$100). Never again, Hilton now gets a lot of my business and I also carry my own dongle.

    Very annoying.

    Novotel AKL airport also has the 100 Mb limit.
