Not sure how or why, but it's through skyscanner to checkmyfares.com and even when I click right through it's showing as available, but who knows for how long.
To Moscow
From Sydney
Via: London
On: British Airways
When: June
Alliance: OneWorld
Correct, once you don't use any leg of a booking, the remaining legs are cancelled.
Still good as a one way fare to London with BA!
But… how to stop the airline staff from checking your bags all the way though to Moscow
Carry-on only?
Just ask them at check-in.
Book 2 seats, but your luggage on the 2nd seat!
Luggage won't travel without you.
Might take them a while to offload and I don't know where it would end up, but it would certainly be in London, not Moscow.
I have booked a flight with my wife from Cebu to Melbourne via Singapore with Scoot. If she was the only passenger to turn up for the flight would all legs of the booking be available to her?
my friend broke up with her spouse and went on holiday alone even though both had tixs. she did not have any issues and they did not even mention in? make sure the luggage (if any on scoot) is in her name though. could be tricky if you bought luggage in your name.
Do you have to collect a bottle of novichok during the stop over?
they might give you a bottle of novichok To send you home and tell you ur ticket is invail at airport :)
Example? I can't replicate it.
Wow - great price, great find. Dam I wish the wifey would let me sneak off on this trip
Go to Russia, get new wifey
Looks like someone at checkmyfares.com forgot to add the taxes in!! Buy with a CC for an easy chargeback in case of any shifty moves (in case they don't honour, or delay refunds).
If I lived in Syd - I would take this flight.
Checked prices from ADL, and nothing even close.
Has anyone booked thru checkmyfares?
edit - grammar purposes
Can anyone find different dates than the 1 sample? I'd book it but have to be back by June 10/11.
amazing value!!!
Interestingly Qatar airways is only $300 more and is a shorter trip. Same with China airlines but that's only $100 more.
…and only via checkmyfares. Somebody should check his fares.
Don't you need a visa that takes a very long time to get for Russia? Or is that only for extended stays?
Got our last time in about 2 weeks. Very easy to do. But you need to have booked accommodation first and get a certificate from the accommodation saying you are booked in there.
Ah, ok. I had a colleague there for a long time, 6-12 months, I think he might have been studying too. We weren't close so I honestly can't remember the details.
IIRC he said it took him 9 months to get the visa and there were no status updates on it.
This would have been around 2010 though.
Student visa, or whatever Russia might call it, will be a lot more in depth than an easy tourist visa. Some of the questions are quite funny though.
I do recommend visiting Russia though. Loved the country and the people are really quite friendly.
Has anyone used checkmyfares.com? Also saw it for another flight to Europe (Greece) via London
what dates did you put in?
July 13-21
You mean "what dates did you Putin?".
Wow you are my hero!!! If you fly business what are you doing on ozbargain? Just a tight ass.
Being savvy with your money is the key ;)
Rich Dad Poor Dad says its not how much you earn but how you use your money that matters.
Username checks out.
Wow, loving the jealousy! I said the deal was "wow, cool cool price"
Anyhoo instead of giving a negative, why not ask how I do it? and then maybe you do not need to suffer the flight in economy.
People are negging your arrogance. It's not what you said, but how you said it.
So would the poor buggers that have to listen to people like you IRL.
Is your simple trick paying several times the economy rate?
2nd of June to the 13th of June ex. Melbourne is the same price!
There is a lot of other destinations with prices almost half of what they normally are
Care to share some of them?
Chances of these getting honored are very slim !
This isn't an airline price error that often get honored it's a cheap looking website that's probably run from someon's Garage.
totally agree, just checked few destinations from sydney and all fares are incredibly low…e.g syd to fiji 2 adults and 1 child $699 return and ya website seems so dodgy.
Scam i think
London direct in April for 464 too, can't be real. Especially not on British airways
Anyone able to find anything cheap in July? Family and I are relocating to Ireland and a sub $500 ticket would be fantastic!
it's a scam by the look of it
If I get this and it's not ticketed, will I get a refund
If you pay via credit card you would be able to do a chargeback.
SCAM ALERT!!
So many dodgy vibes - brand new ABN and two fake reviews from 2 days ago. Avoid, unless you enjoy giving away money for free.
Yeah, it had me interested but I didn't find out anything amazing.
Also discovered that the domain was registered back in May by a company called Allied IT, back in May of 2018 (they are a reseller of Crazy Domains) and the SSL certificate was only issued in December which is interesting - certainly a new company.
Allied IT is an outsourcing company who appears to have forgotten to pay for their web hosting but having a look back at one of their old sites, their contact details are
Allied IT
1139 W. Mississippi Avenue (Lucky they get to work from home as well)
Chattanooga, TN 37405
Phone: 423-508-0108
E-mail: [email protected]
Perhaps if you run into any issues with your refund and charge back isn't an option you could always reach out to Allied IT and find out who they assisted with the registration of this site? :)
Definitely seems dodgy reviews lol. Someone who's not good on the internet doesn't know many of the internet slang.
E.g. Sum and gr8
On line air booking
A brilliant easy online booking
I am not gr8 at using a computer But this was so easy to use
And prices were so so competitive
To sum up
Good prices and easy to use
Sorry, looks like they moved further north since then:
1-732-783-4477
2 Five Acre Drive
Edison NJ 08820
Sri lanka, Seoul, Tokyo all sub 300 too for a return, definite scam
" Sorry, this fare is no longer available from CheckMyFares.com"
London = hotbed for terrorism.
lol
500ish from melbourne. Great deal OP
let us know how your trip went…
Zero risk when buying with a CC
No chance they are going on this trip.
June 2-13 from MEL includes 'Qantas QF7446 | Operated by British Airways'. I am 100% sure that isn't a real flight which is weird.
It's a codeshare flight number.
Its a MEL-SYD flight though, which would be a QF operated flight.
Anyone actually gone through the checkout? Site seems to be crapping out.

Has anybody got a confirmation email?
you bought it?
If this ends up being a scam, is it easy to get a CC refund?
Nobody in their right mind would have bought this, don't worry
If they had PayPal, I'd be tempted to give it a whirl and charge back if it ends up being completely bogus…
you can always chargeback with CC.
I’m not sure about that.. with 50+ upvotes at least one person tried their luck
I bought Perth to Paris for $623 on Sing Air. That was a fantastic trip. It's worth the risk!
edit: maybe not, had a read of the other comments. sounds dodgy af.
I'm real interested to find out what happens with your ticket… please keep us updated! Any confirmation emails received?
Is it really worth taking the risk of rocking up to the airport and being told 'Sorry, your ticket is invalid. We can put you on the next flight at only $3k if you like'
@Cluster: That would never happen. If the airline ticket gets issued, you are safe. If not, it's a scam or they refund.
@hypie: Don't you know some agents use stolen credit card to issue the tickets for you and those ticket will cancel once the bank find out and you will have no idea about it until you go to check in.

Scratch that, it's back up again.
I have been tracking a trip to Bali on skyscanner and i got a notification that the price suddenly halved overnight. It was also for checkmyfares
Seems so dodgy, not even any reviews on skyscanner
Is it with Concorde?
Concordski?
It was the TU-144 the first supersonic soviet plane that went to flight ahead of Concorde.
Да, в самом деле
I think that this is so risky that it should be removed from ozbargain. Not a confirmed scam, but why wait?
The site looks like a scam. I put in several dates to fly from Melbourne to Tokyo and every time it came back with 'no results found'. Umm, yeah, sure.
Suspect it's more under load. We're getting error messages from them too.
As above, scam.
Everyone else calling it a scam should be voting negative.. dunno why people aren't.
I didnt initially as I'm not sure, but I think the likely good I'd fairly high.
Because the mods are too sensitive with negative votes.
thats what i was worried about ^^
the site is sooooooooo poorly designed though it seems crazy sketchy imo
As above, scam.
On what basis?
" Search Again! No matching flight found for your search "
NO DEAL
Scam. Plus it's sold out anyway.
Why is going to Moscow such a mistake ?
Moscow via London seems to be a pain though. Might be good to get to London and then not use the second leg. Though I think they might not let you use the return leg then. Does anyone know?
