ticketstoindia.co.uk: 332.30

Is there any particular reason for the big difference? Is it justifiable paying the extra to book on emirates website for some extras that i am not aware of?

Eshaq. I booked F tickets LHR-BKK for my wife and I at the tail end of last year. The cost was 5,500 pounds (sorry keyboard doesn't like my pound sign). I was able to get the same fare in May through netflights.com for 3,300. It pays to shop around! I still got all the perks that I would have got booking through EK direct. One point to watch though - will your ticket through the TA still attract miles?
