Thanks skywardhunter in #3-I have found that the earlier you book the more chance of a Saver ticket, my recent BHX/DXB/RGN/BKK/DXB/BHX trip only has Saver on the DXB/RGN sector-I booked that for peak season, in September.
I have booked the same route for December/January next at Saver on all sectors and saved £712.
To DatBoi . Not helpful. Now retired I no longer fly first as all my tickets are self funded out of tax paid personal income,not Company expenses
You'll end up there eventually
