Ga lhr-sin £1,318 j rt

See e.g. here, crazy value for flights from LHR:

https://www.google.co.uk/flights/#se...sc=b;a=GA;eo=e

Note: Matrix shows £1,391 but when you click through to book on GA's website it prices up at £1,318.

This deal was similar in May - only stop over on outbound not return. A marvellous price from LHR

Given the direct SQ flights are 'only' £2,000 on a lot of dates also (cheaper than BA on equivalent dates), I feel like you'd be mad to pick BA on this route at the moment (plus for whatever reason SIN seems to be the route that attracts the most J/F complaints from an unscientific study of the BAEC forum).

The OP is not about BA.

The post you've quoted is from the OP

He/she is just highlighting that with SQ and now GA as competition, the BA LHR - SIN route is looking less and less desirable.

Thanks for that. I find (and imagine some others probably do also) that it helps to contextualise whether or not a fare is a good deal to compare with the other available options on the route.

Hands down amazing fare!

But the inability to make any changes takes away from it for me.

It’s a good far but I have a hard time convincing myself to take it over economy. I've flown to Bali twice this year with GA and on every flight there has been less than 80 people on board. This means that in economy you can easily get a row of seats to yourself and the rear economy section is virtually empty so you have plenty of room to spread out and sleep. Not to mention the amount of food served in economy!

As long as the flights stay empty than GA is my first choice to Asia.

Anyone know when this fare ends?

Interested but not ready to pull the trigger. Thanks.
