 Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:57 am Post subject: Summer flights to the UK |
 |
|
Hi,
I will have a few weeks off this summer so I am planning to go back to the UK to see friends/family.
Can anybody give me an indication of prices, and the best time to book? I understand that it is a busy period for travel, but so far the best I can find is 950 pounds.
Thanks,
Rich |

| That's not over the odds for summer high season. How about some more info on exactly when you want to go? |

Bumping this thread because I'm also looking for cheap summer flights to the UK. Did you find anything less than �950 rich?
I'm looking to go either Nagoya to London or Tokyo to London at a push, I'm living in Nagoya and it costs about �60 to get from here to Tokyo on the shink...
Checked a few comparison websites like Kayak and Travelsupermarket. HIS and No1 travel are too clunky with the whole email for a quote thing and in my previous experience are usually no cheaper, but I guess it might be worth a try? |

I paid 900 pounds...Air China, Nagoya to London. That was on the Air China website, with a transfer in Beijing.
It is more expensive than I envisaged, but transferring my July pay home will more than cover the cost, so I wasn't too worried and just wanted something booked. |

I've used STA Travel for some of my flights to and from Japan. Email for a quote and you should get a reply from an adviser fairly quickly. I've found they at least managed to find the same deal I was able to find, and sometimes a bit cheaper. But you get someone else to do it for you.
I actually had a kind adviser who suggested she send me a student card (even though I hadn't been a student for years) to take advantage of the cheaper flights. On the most recent flight coming back from London, I just booked a student discount ticket and wasn't required to show any proof of being a student. |
