Helf - cheap airfare sites

Post by Aliya » 3rd Mar, '08, 16:30

Just googled for cheap flights from Beijing to Sing and the fares I found were more expensive than the actual airlines themelves had on their websites. WTF? [smilie=23_3.gif] Includes Zuji and Asiarooms.

Can anyone recommend a good cheap air fares site I can look at.

No one has any to recommend? There was a thread on the OB about it before the Plug Was Pulled and Asia Rooms and Zuji were two mentioned but cant remember the rest...

Air Zimbabwe fly direct from Beijing to Sing and they are by far the cheapest on the market.

Wow Beijing to Singapore - S$800 (ish) plus taxes. Much cheaper if you book from Beijing.

Downside is they fly to Beijing/Sing only once a week - Leave Sat 7pm arriving Sun 1.05am - Sing Sat 11.45 to 6pm.

I thought they were flying twice a week these days? It might be that they are doing Harare-Singapore-Bangkok-Singapore-Harare during the midweek instead now, which means that will also probably be a cheap flight.

Air Zim isn't bad at all, actually. They've never crashed a plane (touch wood).

The problem is that Mugabe does tend to steal the plane (they only have one that flies internationally) whenever he wants to travel. Fortunately he is banned for almost everywhere on the planet, so it doesn't happen that often.

Oh the irony of a Ghanaian turning his nose up at Air Zimbabwe ...
