    It depends where you are flying through - Uk, Netherlands, France & Germany are all about €300.00. If you go via Abu Dhbai they aren't as bad about €190.00 but the airfare may be higher.

    the problem is that the Airlines usually also "hide" their fuel surcharges in the Taxes/Fees, which are often more then the actual taxes.

    We booked with SAS for June, and it came to 330 Fare + 290 Taxes, .i.e. 620 all in.

    Wow, that wasn't a bad price, did you book direct with them and was there any restrictions on that flight?

    Yeah, we booked directly on www.scandinavian.net . They were a bit cheaper then the same flights on ebookers or gohop etc.

    Maximum stay is 3 months iirc, and all the usual rules for discounted tickets applied, i.e. no changes no refund.

    I booked with www.clubtravel.ie for 720 Euro return. It can be obtained cheaper but I was restricted on my dates.
