Looking for return flights for July - August this year to S.E Asia. Not even too fussed about where we land although would prefer it to be Singapore or Malaysia so I'm pretty flexible on dates..

I just wondered if these flash flight sales actually exist or its all just marketing and I'd be better off just booking my flights now?

If they do, where do I find out about them?

here you go.

£467.75 ret

out London to BKK on 30th June back anytime in August to september. You will not get better then that.

We can't leave until 18th July otherwise that would have been a cracking deal!!

It's going to be pricey leaving mid- July.
Can you wait until mid-late August?

Agreed, you have really narrowed the window for bargains - during school holidays is a no no

I got August/September return flights to Bangkok for £520 a couple of years ago with Etihad. I bought those 5.5 weeks before. As a rule of thumb, 4 months before is the best time to buy, but later is probably better than earlier.

Etihad Airways is currently having a promo code with which you can save £50 (Economy Class) / £100 (Business Class / First Class) off flights from London Heathrow and Manchester to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh City.
