This sale endsย tonight, 10 June 2018,ย so if you’ve been putting off your flight bookings on Qatar Airways for your holiday, you only have a few more hours to take advantage of this fare sale.ย I covered this sale earlier on in the week and you can read more about it here.ย There’s also another sale happening concurrently over at Qatar Airways which is their sale to the new destinations that Qatar Airways will be flying to. This sale will end on 15 June 2018, I’ve covered that in last week’s edition of the Weekly Airfare Deals Roundup so you can check it out here.

Etihad

Etihad is currently having its Weekend Special sale which endsย tonight. 10 June 2018 where round trip Economy Class fares to Abu Dhabi start from S$719 and fares to Europe start from S$1,099. Tickets bought during this sale are valid for travel from now until 31 January 2019. You can view the full list of destinations on offer here.

From the Singapore to Abu Dhabi leg of your journey, Etihad Airways operates their Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and Economy Class is laid out in a 3-3-3 configuration on that aircraft. If your onward connecting flight is on their A380, the seat would be exactly the same.ย

Malaysia Airlines

Malaysia Airlines is currently having its Mid-Year Deals sale from now untilย 17 June 2018 where there are some excellent Economy Class and Business Class fares on offer. Tickets booked during this sale are valid for travel from now until 31 May 2019. So there’s really no time like the present to plan your holidays for the first half of 2019. You can view the full list of destinations on offer here.

In this sale, fantastic fares to various destinations are on offer. My personal picks would be a Business Class fare from Singapore to London Heathrow starting from S$2,768. That’s staggering value in my books. Tokyo is also back on sale with Business Class fares from S$1,470 which isn’t the lowest we’ve seen it go for. Economy Class fares are alsoย legit with fares to Taipei starting from just S$306 and Bangkok starting from just S$157. That’s a great fare in my opinion.

Malaysia Airlines primarily operates their narrow body aircraft for flights around the region with Economy Class laid out in a 3-3 configuration on their Boeing 737s. If you’re flying to London or Tokyo in Business Class, it is laid out in an alternating 1-2-1 and a 2-2-1 layout on the A330-300s and A350s.
