Hi there (from deepest darkest New Zealand :D)

I'm trying to book some flights back to the UK next July, and someone had mentioned that Southtravels were very good. Can't say I'd ever heard of them. Anyhoo, I sent them an email asking for business class fares from AKL - LHR on 12th July 07 returning 26th July 07.

They replied with a quote which I don't understand. The dates look wrong and I can't understand the flight codes or see the fare codes.

I've asked for clarification, but what do you guys make of it? I also think the price quoted can't be correct [?]

It is our pleasure to send you Confirmation for your request as under:

p.s How the heck do you book flights with EVA ? I've tried online and it says the flights 'are not available to book at this time' and nobody ever answers the phone on the reservations desk. I also asked Flight Centre to try and get a quote and they couldn't.

that looks like emirates economy flights via dubai..... ???? as a through fare, so at least your luggage would get checked all the way through.

That's what I thought....won't be going with them then, if they can't get a simple request like a quote correct [V]

Thanks

Pardon my ignorance but, isn't this an awful lot of money for economy flights?

Well they never returned my email, so I'd give that company a big [:(!]

I've booked through flight centre now, because they bettered the quote I found for PE flights on Air NZ.
