I was looking for the cheapest direct flights to Kuala Lumpur in June. Having spent hours ringing up all the travel agents: STA, Trailfinders, Travelbag, Austravel the best fare was £620. A friend recommended Emerald Travel who actually quoted £605. They assured me they were waiting for Student fares from Malaysian Airlines. Student fares? I was quite sceptical especially as I had hunted all round and none was cheap!
After a week of constant ringing I gave up and decided to book a cheap flight off Expedia for my nephew. I discovered that with these online bookings if you entered one seat at a time you get a cheaper price than 2 or 3 seats in one booking. I also discovered that after booking and paying in full for the one cheap seat at £556 there were no more seats at that price when I went in for a second booking!Emerald Travel offered me some cheap student flights to KL via Singapore Airlines for under £500. A few more days of waiting paid off because the Malaysian Airlines student fares did finally come through and at well under £500 I immediately booked 2 for my sons and made a considerable saving!
It pays to shop around - Student fares do exist if you know where to look and I was lucky to find direct student flights to KL for under £500.

Hi there, I've heard about Emerald Travel Agent from my relatives. So far they have the lowest price ticket for Emirates. Unfortunately, their service is a bit dissapointing. My flight is somewhere in middle MArch and I booked in in Late January. The paper ticket supposed to be 'on my hand' three days after that but a month later, I still havent received it yet. The travel operators I called and get in touch with keep asking me to wait and wait and wait for another weeks and at the end, she told me that they will sent a 'lost in post' notice to the airline I am going to use and that a new ticket to be issued, but I AM the one liable to pay for the re issuing! (GBP40.00), and indirectly saying that it might be me who is actually lying - saying that I not yet received the ticket while actually I already did...that's outrageous! in terms of the re issuing fee, when i told her that it is the liability of Emerald Travel Agent to pay for it, she give so many excuses and I have to call the airline myself to confirm that I am not liable for the payment. Now, once i get back to her and told her the right thing, she now says that the manager is already went home and that she can only talk to him/her the on Monday. It made me lost my confidence in Emerald Travel Agent....they might be the best travel agent in term of price but surely could be the worst customer service..
