AfriAus Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 This is just a codeshare with Singapore Airline (so stopover in Singarpore). Prices should be around $1800 RETURN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunabi Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Jip, I agree its a bargain. We paid that in 2010 so its not bad :-) I thought the prices were one way only 8-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riaanbre Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Where are you seeing these prices? According to their site a single ticket (via Heathrow, so I may be doing this wrong) is R 24K for economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me the extra $500 is worth not having to stop over in Singapore, which just about doubles your journey time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 @RiaanebreAll the amounts we are giving here are in Australia Dollar so multiply by 8.7 to get rands@HansaYep, when I sent my wife over we looked and the extra (was about 400 for us) for direct shaved something along the lines of 8 hours each way off, worth the bit extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emille Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 i wouldnt say 1800 is a 'bargain' - a bargain is 1600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Aussie Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I agree Emile , 1800 is ok , 1440 is good and 925 (3700 for 4 - as per quantas sale beginning Sep) is a BARGAIN!!! For starters people - never fly on Fri or Sun - always go outside these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
