Just looked around for flights in March, April and May and seems to be £500 going up to £540 for the best prices. Those airlines are Royal Brunei, Kuwait, China, Singapore and Philippines airways who I didn't know were running. Cathay currently seems to be about £80 more than last years prices. Looked for a friend flying from Manchester going to Manila for 2 weeks in March 7th-25th and managed to find £443 with Philippines airways! Didn't get as far as flight times or how long the stop-overs were though. Anyone know where AUH airport is? As that's one where Philippines airways stops.
