    Anyone been recently and can tell me the approximate cost. Is there a significant difference between airlines/routes?

    Currently have 37,500 Eva Air direct.
    That (to me) is not a bad price. - But surprised Eva Air go direct - thought that in the past when I looked it was routed through Hong Kong.
    Within airline lingo, the definitions are as follows:

    Direct - 1, 2, or 3 stopovers.
    Nonstop - none.
    37k is a shit price.
    Going rate is 28k if you book through UK company.

    Direct - 12hrs - 28k - BA

    You need to note also that flights are more expensive on certain days compared to others, so if you are flexible, get on the airline websites and shop around.

    We actually went with KLM, we booked 2 days before we flew and the price was 34000 return to Manchester.

    The return flight at the end of March was delayed then cancelled due to hurricane force winds at Amsterdam, we missed our connection there and were stuck in Manchester for 2 nights until they could re-book us, they eventually re-booked us on Qatar.

    We had an excellent flight with them. Brand new planes on both legs of the journey, good service and decent enough food. The stopover was in the new airport at Dohar and both flights were on time.

    I would certainly use them again.

    KLMs customer service during the delays was nothing short of a disgrace however.
    The only thing that ever let Qatar down in the past was flying into their previous cow shed of an airport in Doha. Now that they have a base to match their fleet, it's only the waking up post wine snooze at stupid o'clock and having to change planes that bothers me.

    All pretty good the Middle East lot, but Qatar just edge it for me if you can handle the hoards of Russians quarrelling in the queue as they fret over the company's (admittedly) very tight rapid transfer times.

    For a long time I've preferred the long haul from Heathrow ie Thai or EVA.

    Thai are getting far too pricey and I've since been using either Etihad or Emirates.

    My most recent flight has been KLM.

    Cheers

    Ah, we don't get those problems in the posh seats. Even the old airport had its own Biz and First class terminal.

    I'm must admit though I'm getting fed up waiting for them to finish the First Class lounge, having to rough it with those Business Class chavs is rather wearing.
