is it possible to get a last minute deal
I have 12 days off work starting from this weekend and looking at the prices on all airlines going to asia, the price's are well out of my budget. (£600 budget)
Is it possible to get a last minute deal on any seats from any of the web sites?
I do have a back up plan. bulgaria for a week with a charter flight for 7 days.
Also, anyone know if there are sites that you can bid for a last minute flight

We had a lengthy discussion on this in a thread started by you a month ago: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/emira...in-offers.html

it can be so frustrating looking at every web site every day trying to get a deal.
Biggest shock was Oman air, 3 months ago you could get a flight to thailand for less than £400 return, For july, its well over £1000.
I keep checking Thai air, The price is coming down to £650 and on some dates irs under £550, But its finding the offers.

About 18 months ago I got one of those crazy fares on EK. I flew LHR-DXB-PVG return and had to book at fairly short notice, 2 weeks before flying, in the middle of the summer. I was shocked when the EK website quoted me £350 incl. taxes. Amazing price. Not sure if it would happen today, but I have noticed they still do rock bottom prices on a lot of destinations in the ME and Gulf from the UK, even at short notice.
