Singapore - SA - London flight |
3 May 2008 |
A reader wrote to us and asked for advice on purchasing flight tickets from Singapore to Johannesburg, Cape Town to London and then London to Singapore: "I am trying to find the best deal on flights that will take me from Singapore to Johannesburg to arrive in Johannesburg on 14th July, then a flight from Capetown to London on 27th 0r 28th July and then a flight returning from London to Singapore on about 14th July [presume she means August]. Can you advise as to the best options and cheapest fares?"

Emirates's multi-booking system wasn't allowing me to enter 3 legs at once, so I got their flight prices seperately for each stage:
