Okay, you'll no doubt be all shaking your heads in a sadly amused fashion but are there any airlines out there left that actually have tickets priced at even vaguely the prices they advertise on sites such as
http://www.cheapflights.co.uk/flights/P ... tl/London/ ? For example?
I ask because the previous two years I got the tickets that were advertised at the price they were advertised through phone deals. Around £325 and £365. And through obviously UK located travel agent centres. Now I'm being diverted to clearly-India and am being quoted the most breathtakingly over-the-advertised prices I thought conceivable.
Yes, you're right. I don't fly often...
Flying Eagles - (who I've used before at £325 two years ago) - Advertised £382 phoned up and its £485.
Abacus Travels: £349 - £492
Economy Travels: £369 - £558!
And I've tried another two on top of that. I think it's going to be a long evening...
If anyone is stultifyingly bored and feels brotherly feel free to point me in certain directions. Flying out 24th October and coming back 14th November - dates are flexible by a few days.
Meanwhile - rrrrgh.
