merryJim 1 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Is it just the flights I'm asking for or are flights a fair bit more expensive this year than usual? Apart from that gasoline tax they're adding on. Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Am finding it a wee bit pricey also at the mo, both to UK and to OZ. Think lot more people are going abroad at mo and may be a cause too. P.S SJ Avater is changed as requested Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 If you would like to spend a little more on flights to offset the CO2 emissions from flying, check out Climate Care . Calculate how many tons of CO2 you will emit, then fork over some guilt money to fund greening and new energy projects. Link to post Share on other sites
white-void 0 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Well until they come up with a different way to visit "home", I'll have to take the plane. It is a bit more expensive this year - and about 5000 slapped on for gas. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 > A recent staff meeting that required 40 people to fly from all corners of the world I've been to some of those sorts of meetings. Where email would actually have worked far better. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Just a quick look but Dec 22 to Jan 6 is 108,000 yen with taxes on BA's website. Christmas Eve too was still reasonable. If you can only go at peak time though, you'll get creamed. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 My xmas flights to london with JAL were pretty cheap I thought, 21man for 4 ppl. We bought really early though. 108000yen is cheap for japan standards, however once converted to GBP at 142yen/GBP it starts to stink a bit. I still think many companies are happily ignoring the fact yen is superman now (however I noticed last week that IKEA have cut many prices by about 20% to reflect yen strength and prices are now same as UK).

bobby12 0 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 All over 2 now - kids were about 80% ticket price I think. Vast majority of the ticket price was london airport tax Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Well for two adults and two at 80%, I think that's a bargain. Well done mate! Fingers crossed there are deals like that for next summer! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yes that does sound good. Summer was well cheap though, just under 100,000 yen including all the silly business. Could do with that deal again next summer. Link to post Share on other sites
