| From the North KLM through Amsterdam are normally the cheepest. |
KLM and Air France I`ve found are the cheapest for short term flights (1-3 month tickets) but 1 year date changeable tickets are too expensive with them.
KLM service is crap as are AF.......but Korean Air via Paris I`ve found are good
Emirates (who I`ve just used from Newcastle) are cheap for 1 year date changeable tickets but go via Dubai and thus takes about 2-3 hours longer than flying KLM/AF via AMS or Paris but you save a good few hundred quid. Last time I paid about 460 quid for a 1 year date changeable ticket (75 quid charge though)......but with the recent fuel price hikes add another 100 on top of that so I`ve noticed

If you're talking direct then probably only Korean Air and BA.
I booked to go home for my contract break next Saturday and I can't fly direct to Manchester so have to settle for Heathrow and then hiring a car and driving up.
If you want to fly via somewhere then you can more or less fly with anyone: I've flown Airchina, Aeroflot. I've seen Lufthansa, KLM, Emirates (not keen on the wait and it's longer 19 hours total compared to 14-15 hours with others). Every so often Aeroflot have a killer cheap return flight for about 500 quid, changing in Moscow.
My flight next week which I booked 2 months ago cost a grand with Korean Air, that's direct both ways. I'm being reimbursed so the price was never an issue. If I wasn't then I'd go for a cheaper one stop flight. |

It's looking like between 700 and 800 quid leaving from Gimhae in August going through HK. There's no way I'd fly with Aeroflot. Prices seem to be around 200+ quid dearer than the same time last year.
Don't forget to drive on the left when you pull out of Heathrow Domer. |

I`ve heard BA stopped doing direct flights from London to ICN? Could be wrong mind.
Thought about using Aeroflot in the past but still a bit wary of their dodgy reputation |

Check out their website, they've got loads of new planes. I had no problem with them. Still a bit cramped in cattle class. If you've flown Brianshair then Aeroflot is luxury.
Toon Army, you're right about BA. It's just KA that flies direct.

Was on expedia.com last week (travelocity doesn't seem to log in well!) looking for cheap flights.
Emirates, via Dubai, to Glasgow came in at $1,300 each.
Next day I was going to buy, the price had jumped to $2,000  and I never bought. |

I bought a ticket this week that would have cost me $200 less if I'd paid for it last week. |

I posted this earliar but i'll post it here now 
Im flying from London Gatwick to Incheon on july 7th with Emirates and i bought my tickets christmas eve last year for �430.91(inc. tax), I havent got a problem with having a stop over in dubai (7 hours layover going, and 10 coming back haha.)
and looking on sites such as travelocity/expedia are a waste of time, its better to go on individual airline websites |

I fly from Manchester, and usually use KLM or Lufthansa as the cheapest options with minimal transfer time. I could also use Liverpool, but that airport is not as well serviced.
A good site for comparing prices is www.kayak.co.uk and you can use this site to check your local airport for prices. |
