My youngest is going trekking around Asia later this year, so of course, I'm helping her out with flights.

As she's not sure when she's coming back, I wanted a flex fare for her, Bangkok - manchester. Went on the skywards page this morning, plumped for a date in November, and yes, flex seats were available, 103,000 miles and the princeley sum of 700Thai Baht (£14.60).

She can of course change the date, at no cost, and reading the small print, even the point of embarkation, within the same zone, so if she ends up at another Emirates airport, she can go from there too !

£14.60. I wonder what the fees for the outbound leg will be from the UK, not £14.60 thats for sure !
