i usually use opodo..........seems ebookers does similar prices with thai and eva(my prefered airline).
last couple of trips ive paid £425 all tax inc,direct,using both thai and eva,last few have been booked no longer than one month.
after new year is well on its way,and things slow up,prices for flights come down and there seems to be good deals feb /march time for all departs between then and november.
maybe i just get lucky with deals or maybe its my late bookin,but seems to be the case this year.
i prefer my direct flights,just wanna get it done as quickly as poss,with minimal hassle,i have flew via jordan before wasnt to bad but just puts that extra bit on the time,and possible u gonna get delays also.
have flew everytime with Eva........... bar twice........really like the service,seems more comfortable than thai(maybe something to do with new aircrafts),better entertainment also.
I wish i applied for my frequent flyer card a couple of years back,would be well on my way.but all sorted now.........wheres them Eva deals for ASAP!
ebookers -Eva- march £505
opodo-Eva-march £508
defintely worth holding out for the deals,they'll come soon i hope

(im pretty easy for dates which is a bonus,and plans arent my best aspect anyway)........at these prices i can see how people opt for cheaper indirect flights though.
