Bear in mind that flights from NE-hubs will be charged normally. So try to get a flight from BTS or BUD with EasyJet, Ryanair or similar...

Good Luck folks!

We really need to take you by the hand...

What about using the "book online" button and select your dept city and your arrival city amongst those listed? If the date of your choice is not available, then it will show you the closest dates available around the original date..I'm able to price Budapest-Athens for 28Euros all in from July 6th to 28th...

Well....I just earnt 54 BA miles anyways, as they accept my Amex Prem Plus for payment, w/no surcharge.

Can't be bothered to find the mystical advertised £4 fare, probably mid-week in the winter or something...preferred paying the £5 surcharge for the Mayday weekend celebrations they'll presumably have.

Course, one of the catches is some of these are early-bird flights, that's where having 10k P.C. points spare come in handy, booked the HI-X STN with it, for the night before I go. Can always cancel if needs be, f.o.c. (the hotel)

I'm getting fed-up with 'full-serviced' airlines anyways...they're switching back & forth about what kind of service & miles, if any, you get - making you feel you're not entitled to any for your $'s spent...and their fuel surcharges alone, come to more than many of these lcc deals am seeing recently.

Does that mean I'd have to leave FT though?

Whats all this bout HUB anyways - that an airport code (expedia says Hubli, India) or trying to say they have a hub where?

ok guys it's getting scary ;-) This morning just the flights to the hubs of SkyEurope were charged without taxes, now almost all flights are charged without taxes excluding the flights BTS-Kosice because of the VAT.

So I booked several flights for 28 EUR return all inclusive!

Happy booking!


HUB stands for a Sky Europe home base but it's not important anymore ;-)

infact they have several hubs as they offer bus transfers and Skylink - a cheap connecting flight to Kosice to most flights leaving from Bratislava.

Appears, strangely - to be fare gone now. All the prices have gone up from £4 to £14. From reading the front page, and choosing the dates i had previously.

Really strange but I know why:

I just got the SkyEurope Newsletter saying no fees and taxes when you book now! They raised most fares (Paris, England for example) so you re lucky if you already booked your flights!

EasyJet has a special too!

Easy jet has a sale ending at midnight tonight (Wed) . . . They say 45% off sale. Ex: Berlin (where I go frequently from the U.S.) to Budapest or Krakow for 23.98 Euros incl taxes! Other city pairs are cheap too! But no miles, though!! I already booked Budapest for Jan at 41 Euros; now it's cheaper! I can't decide where to go during my March Berlin trip! Check it out - - but hurry!

Dave

PS: I hope the moderators don't give us 50 lashes with a wet noodle for posting here since there aren't any miles!!

PSS: I just got an eMail that EasyJet's sale is extended til Dec 12!

Thanks OP!

Inappropriate post for mileage run forum. No miles can be earned.


But farealert would be a good place to post it.
