Default Cheap Flights?

I may have to return to the UK soon (hopefully not but its a possibility) and so I'm on the look out for recommendations for cheap flights!

Any help appreciated

There are some long haul budget airlines now. Tiger Airlines flies to Singapore and on to Macau, but I think only from Darwin and Perth. After an overnight and a ferry to Hong Kong, you can take Oasis to London. I read somewhere that Macau Air, or something like that, was going to start service to Sydney.

I tried to post some web address for you but it wouldn't let me!!!!
Do a search for Best Flights, Webjet and Zuji. They are all Australian sites. Hope you find something.

If you want to try the budget option, look at Cheap Flights from Budget Airlines with WhichBudget.com to see what budget airlines fly where.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - I'll check them out if I do need to go home. I've had the 'dreaded' phone call from the UK telling me that my mum isnt well. I'm just waiting to hear about results from tests and dependent on those I may be heading home.

Fingers crossed I wont need to.

Thinking of you Rach (((((hug)))))

Don't know of any cheap flights, but obviously the cheaper ones will have more stop offs then the slightly dear direct (as they call them)

What about Royal AIr Brunei!!??
