To the UK posters:
Where is the best place to get cheap tickets?
Do you recommend an open return ticket over a one-way?
What are the prices like to Kansai in early July? |

| I have always found www.statravel.co.uk to be the best bet. Especially if you are under 26! |

Hi.
I'm looking for the same info, but for Canada.  Are there any decent companies besides Travelcuts? |

I got a one-way ticket from www.expedia.co.uk with KLM to Kansai International, changing in Amsterdam, for �350 or so. Lufthansa also do cheap tickets around this price, with a change in Frankfurt. The only direct flights from the UK to KIX are with JAL for around �750 and notoriously small seats. Bear in mind though with all these airlines you get a baggage allowance of 20kg. I'm going in a week or so and I'm sure I'll go over the allowance and with KLM excess baggage weight is charged at �38 per kilo. |

| Just wanted to add...I wasn't trying to hijack your thread, viddy. Just curious. Most of the flights I've found from Toronto to...say...Tokyo...Are for $1500 CAN and up. |

| By the way, the only airport I investigated tickets for was from Heathrow. The situation may be different if leaving from Gatwick. |

| Oich, try Flight Centre. They have been advertising flights for $820 return but that's what their white board says and what they might tell you could be another story. Mind you, with tax it could equal something close to $1500.00 (kidding). Good luck, I'll be looking myself soon. |

I managed to get a cheap deal with Aeroflot, 300 gbp with a stopover in Moscow. Can't remember which company I went through though.
Aeroflot's current safety record is actually quite good. Don't be fooled by the reputa | |
