Hey guys, just thought I would try to use the collective brains of FT to help me plan an itinerary that includes BLR and MNL in J.

Corporate travel policy is that we can suggest any combination of airlines that we want. Price is of course always an issue.

So far all I have found is AMS-LHR-BLR r/t for E 2800 on BA in CW and add on BLR-MNL r/t on MX in J for E 1100, making E 4000 the ceiling price for the itinerary since our TA will find this option too.

I tried CX but came out at $2800 for BLR-MNL.

I was hoping that AMS-HKG-BLR would be possible on CX so I could add a cheap Y ticket to MNL (don't care for a 1 hour flight) but I only find ridiculous pricing. Is there a more clever way to price this?

Are there any interesting options with Kingfisher? I find their website impossible. Not a fan of a transit in India or is Delhi easy?

Hope that loads of you have done the 'offshore routes' and have clever suggestions for me. Thanks!
