Challenge for Airfare Minimization Gurus

Lcrozza on 29/11/2019 - 17:24

I have some ability to use the Search Engines, this one is tricky and the Engines throw up many and varied options.

OK looking to do a trip , need to be in BISHKEK 23may 2020 [or a day earlier] Ex MEl.
Trip finishes ASHGABAT 12 june [can stay on if it is economical to meet a cheap flight]

2 stops max each way preferred.

The minimum time route is via Dubai, but not cheap [unless a cheap Dubai return comes up and i can add on the extra legs and stopover etc]

Anyway that is the challenge guys/gals, if anyone interested. [ prefer booking direct, but agents considered I guess]

Thanks for your time.

MEL-FRU-ASB-MEL?
Minimise with a s?
It’s not UsaBargain.
Could you fly return to New Delhi? $890
And a multi city flight using Almaty $800

  Hi Stewardo, much appreciate your input.
  I am elderly, sorry to offend with incorrect spelling.[we need to defend the z]
  
  New Delhi is certainly one option that has cropped up in the searches.
  
  And that cost is pretty good. Thankyou

        @fantombloo: no big deal, just out of interest looked up
        chambers dictionary who say it is optional. More interested in getting the best flight deal I can

Thanks for the input folks, expected it would be a bit hard to get many responses.

Looking like I can get there for around $1500au return. Need to spend extra time in Turkmenistan, but that is ok.

Tried to get there as a direct flight via New Delhi to work, but nogo. ASB to new delhi does not seem to exist as a direct flight, tho Turkmenistan fly london to new delhi via ashgabat, could not book the ASB- new dehli leg on their website.
thanks.
