London - Melbourne return £406.70 (March 2010) @ STA Travel


£406.70

239°

FOUND BY: borgax 5 months, 1 week ago

This is my first deal post so i hope i have got it right.

I was looking for a custom ticket to go from London-Ottawa-LA-Melbourne-London and i stumbled across this price. I may be wrong and missed something but i think it's really quite good.
It does have a day stopover in Singapore though.
I followed it through as far as i could without buying it and after what i have pasted below the only other extras i can see is an £8 charge if you pay with a credit card, no charge for using a debit.

I don't know what vouchers are valid but i'm sure they're on Quidco.

What do you guys think???

A) I can't see a day stopover in Singapore in there
B) It's £1 more through netflights, but there is the Quidco opportunity there...

A) Well there was, the dates aren't shown above are they.
B) Actually it's a couple of quid less direct through Singapore Airlines website, and 2% qudco there. It is another thread that i naively duplicated.

Did you ask for the stopover? The search results include 6 options without a stopover and none with. Of course the arrival time is "+1" or "+2" days due to the 22 hour minimum flight time and 9 hour time difference. However, I have checked, again, and I do not see the option to include a stopover.

To my mind there was when i looked, which is why i didn't book it when i saw it, so in the event i was wrong in my above statement, which i concede may be the case, and i can't be bothered chasing it up to prove either way.

I bought,
London - Melbourne direct off the Singapore Airlines website.
10th - 31st March 2010
404.70 (quidco validated within a couple of hours at 64p)
No airmiles given with it though.

thanks for posting even if it has already been posted. i didn't see it the first time and therefore i think its good to have it repeated.

much more useful than the 'save 10p on a Mars bar' kind of post.
