Hi all

My Travelocity farewatcher just sent me an email to say that the price to London had dropped significantly.

I hope the following link works ok. If not just search at Travelocity.com

Now if United match THIS one, my bags are packed! 28,000 miles or 56,000 points. A non UA flier would be a Premier member after their very first flight.

Take note

And you have to return within 14 days. That's a quick holiday but I suppose that with the Pacific Peso the way it is that is about as much as most Australians could afford at the moment.

I don't know whether United could match this deal as they don't fly the same route via Asia.

Pay attention to the sides of trams:

Commencing 27th March daily 1 stop service MEL-LHR BA018.

Thanks Austman

The increase in capacity will be welcome as it may lead to some more deals!

Where will the service stop? Hkg? And who will operate the metal - Ansett or United?

thanks Peter

ps we don't have trams in Boronia http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

It's a new service operated by BA. The stop is in Singapore. There have been some very good fare offers. Again advertised on the sides of trams. Obviously not targeted at Boronia. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I suspect that this new (depart MEL 18:00) service is lightening the load on QF31 (depart SYD 22:15) out of Sydney.
