Hello,
Just discovered this forum today. I + 3 will be travelling to UK in Mid September for 2 weeks. I have been shopping online for tickets / hotels etc. First trip to UK and am wondering if this is the best way, or a Travel Agent? All the sites seem to have pretty much the same prices, Is there any way to get special deals ? And what would be the best airlines to travel on in this sector? TIA Answer these questions to yourself. What is important to you ....? Flying duration. Class of service On time performance Seat comfort Meals Language , your and chosen airline Discounts Specials Frequent flier Program Etc etc. You can shop several sites , third party and direct airline sites. |

Welcome.
Answer these questions to yourself. What is important to you ....? Flying duration. Class of service On time performance Seat comfort Meals Language , your and chosen airline Discounts Specials Frequent flier Program Etc etc. You can shop several sites , third party and direct airline sites. The things of importance are, on time performance, Seat comfort, and a short layover if there is one. What would be a good airline on this sector to choose? The miles would be useful only if they could be used domestically, or as a family unit since I/ we do not plan on travelling often. |

looks like the visa gets more benefits now. you could get a second one with visa on it as well maybe ;)
I just figured I get about 19,000+ JP miles on each Jet ticket using my HDFC card. Would Jet be a good option? What about 1 stop flights - Emirates, Qatar, Etihad, Oman Omain is not a first choice, but its the cheapest by a wide margin, and could get even sweeter, only downside, it has one flight a day, if you miss the connection, you are stuck. What is Airline policy if you miss the connection? |
