Guys,

I'm not quite familiar with the whole booking flights online and I've done my fair share of googling and recommended sites - because my mum needs to fly to Kuala Lumpur to visit my ill Grandmother soon, can anyone find me the cheapest;

Return Adult Air Ticket from London (or any South, Southeast based Airport) to Kuala Lumpur, direct flight preferred but 1 stop change over is "ok".

Can leave anytime on/after 26th December but before 2nd January and return anytime approx. 14days from departure.

Because my mum will be flying alone, the flight must be as easy as walking on plane and out the other end if possible, she speaks fairly fluent English (but mandarin and dialects are first language) but can go into a panic attack if lost.

Price must be £900 and below inc all fees and tax. Any class and any airline tbh.

I appreciate any help people can contribute too.

p/s how easy is it to stay in London Heathrow - waiting for a "cheap" direct flight i.e. spare seats on e.g. British Airways e.t.c.?
 
We have a Far East travel agency here. I daresay thats the kind of place you'd want to visit. They should have the best deals.
 
Well its worth a go surely ?

I will put that on the to-do list for this weekend, in the mean time, what options are available out there?

I've done a last minute . com search, cheap flight search and travelbag / travelmood. So anywhere else?

Another place to add for this weekend poke around, highly doubt there's a local one here in Portsmouth but maybe a phonebook search and call will turn something up. +1.
 
Ring the airline desks at the airports and ask what availability's like on any of the flights. They might tell you there's a seat available on the next flight if you get there in time...
 
Found one on TravelSupermarket thats £554.50 inc. tax. Heathrow to KL International non-stop.

Thats on the 22nd but thats an arbitrary date I pulled out of nowhere.

[edit]Bah, Rotty beat me to the website

The travel agent is Southall Travel.
 
Try www.airline-network.co.uk have used them to fly to and from KL for the last 4 years, only direct flight is with MAS from heathrow, usually less than £800 return all in if your lucky. I also fly emirates via Dubai and just got a ticket for after christmas £600 all in.

What search entry did you use - I can't seem to repeat what you did and find that deal.

Really appreciate everyones help :)
 
Will have a look but as explained, she, she may get panic attacks if she's lost - she don't travel much from airport to airport and her being rather of age and already having issues of stress can easily send her to panic mode.

Just done a very quick search on airline network, £918 with MAS non-stop leave on the 27th return on the 10th, however you may get a better deal if you fiddle the dates a bit.
 
Yeah sorry about that, the best I can see is just over a grand.

[edit]Found a £932 but the return flight is a killer. 25 hours with 1 stop.
