Hi,

After two years I'm moving on to pastures new. I'm looking for info on flights to the UK, specifically Birmingham.
I've done the price comparisons and it seems the best deal I can get is with Emirates.
This isn't really a major issue. I like their service but the stop in Dubai adds a lot to the journey time.
When friends or family have come to visit me here they've flown with Lufthansa or KLM and got it significantly cheaper than the price I'm facing from Emirates right now.
Am I missing a trick? Where's the best place to to look for cheaper UK flights?

I you want cheap you will have to make a stop - there is no way around it, the only airlines that do direct cost a FORTUNE, no one flies to and from korea, they just dont, especially not to and from europe so there arent any cheap tourist deals, keep checking the price comparisons and just book when you see a good one, its all you can do

I fly quite often and like adioso.com but it doesn't fly to london yet! Hmmm try www.skyscanner.net

got some flights from Seoul to London for around 410 pounds with a random date in August... Not sure when you're flying... The flight total was around 20 hours though, but you could combine it with a holiday in Bangkok (which is where the stop over is)



Check out the site anyway!

thanks for the info Izyb

looks like I'm going with Emirates. At least I know they offer a decent service.

I've flown Emirates, KLM nad Luthansa. Emirates were by far the best. The seats on KLM and Luthansa flights were much more cramped, there wasn't any personal little TV. I had to squint about 10 rows ahead to try and watch a film on a little crappy screen. Luthansa ran out of what I wanted to eat on the menu, so I had to eat a crappy bibimbap (don't get me wrong, bibimbap is great in a restaurant in Korea, but not as a plane meal!). I know these might be minor things to complain about, but with Emirates, everything was great - space, entertainment, service and food. I've always found emirates to be the cheapest, about �480 return to Birmingham. Plus you get 30kg baggage allowance compard to 20kg...

did you look at the klm site direct? thats where the promotion flights are, they often don't come up on other searches

if you catch air asia during a sale ICN to KUL and then KUL to London is super cheap......even full price it will probably be cheaper than a major airline.......

Emirates are awesome. I've flown with them dozens of times and have never had a bad experience. I feel like part of the crew after flying so often with them.

I prefer AIR NZ over Emirates although the star feature on the walls is pretty cute

Has anyone found a return flight to London cheaper that 1.6 for August??!
