Toggie88 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Going to a conference through work this weekend and I'm looking for cheap flights. I'll claim the cash back but I'm pretty skint just now anyway, so does anyone know the best place to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Given the time of the year, and the way most airlines' pricing models work, I think it's unlikely you'll get a cheap flight to Majorca at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaby Ewing Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 ?430 on Expedia, Fri-Mon. It's why the baby Jebus invented credit cards. Failing that, go to STA Travel -- they should cut you a deal as you're a youngster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toggie88 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Managed to get there for ?120 flying with Flyglobespan, from Edinburgh. Coming back it's only costing ?36 with First Choice going to Glasgow. Not bad. All I need is beer money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Oh dear Togster. I hope you won't get sacked if you don't arrive at the conference on time. http://www.airlinequality.com/Forum/flygspan.htm http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2008/05/27/224212/uk-caa-to-prosecute-flyglobespan-over-alleged-safety-failing.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1874M Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Flyglobespan are weird... their prices drop last minute.... weird in a good way I suppose. We were held up for 5hrs two weeks ago flying to Faro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest S.U.S.S. Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Why are you paying for it? even to claim it back, your work should organise this for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Good to see you're so concerned Therapist. I'm not. But when I fly on business I certainly don't travel with someone like Globespan. Whoever you are working for is doubly shoddy in making you pay up front for a flight and making you go with a cheap leisure airline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Bright Grey? No...thank god. It wasn't that bad tbh, just repetitive - good craic though. Agreed. Try being there for 18 months! Wouldn't have thought BG would be the sort of place to send lowly data monkeys to conferences in Spain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
