A good website for 'all yer colours, all yer sizes' flights is www.opodo.co.uk (Don't ask me how they came up with that name either! Backwards it's od opo which means strange friend in Army speak!)

Good, easy site to get around, owned and run by about 7-8 major airlines (BA, Air France, KLM, Luftwaffe, Alitalia, Austrian Airlines, CunningLingus and Finnair to name but a few) Good legit insurance rates on your holiday that will pay up if you end up under a tuk tuk on your dirt bike (daft not to) Tickets delivered anywhere for a small cost. They sent mine to the airport in Amman, Jordan, They didn't debit the cost from my account until my mate in Jordan picked my tickets up for me and I acknowledged receipt back to them! Not bad IMHO

The cheapest flights they offer direct to Phuket via BKK (From MAN & LHR) are filling up quite quickly (Good news for the businesses out there) They started at about 500 of your British quids about two months ago and are now into the 700 squids bracket (insurance and delivery of tickets included) for all the way (or, about enough money to keep your Ibiza/Napa/Kos cookie crew in Ibiza/Napa/Kos etc!) Yes, there are cheaper ways, however, if you are not looking to shave a fiver here or a tenner there and want some peace of mind that at least the flight bit is done and dusted then go for it. Farting around in Bangkok for a connection to Phuket can be a right pain in the **** (*Bottom - I meant to say)

Watch out for the 'we stop in Bahrain/Dubai' trips! ALL the smokers (Me included) thinking -'ah yes, a cancerous lung filling opportunity before another 6 and a half hours of hell' - to find out you are on the ground for two hours, front and back cabin doors open, more passengers loaded on to sit in that spare one that has all your kit on, crushing your headphones to mush. Then putting the cigarette between your lips and twiddling with your lighter being microwaved alive in a 55 degree 'breeze' coz the cabin aircon is titsed. brilliant! NOT!! So do your homework and find out. As you are doing on here, obviously! Silly Denver.

Anyway, hope the website link is of use, I was happy with how I was treated and they picked up the phone on thier enquiries listed number which is a bonus. They even give you a number to ring from your destination if you get bored and want to chat with a Brit bird and check in for your flight back, in between sobs, glancing at that last condom in the box and ripping several large tissues while banging your head against your hotel room wall.

Lifes a ***** (insert wifes name here) and then you die. Don't end up marrying one. Have a great holiday whenever you travel.
