“In this instance booking Oneworld flights individually offers an enormous saving of GBP 1051.62 over the LGLOB29 fare and a Build Your Own itinerary would save a further GBP 257.40, although this involves starting from London Stansted, taking four extra flights and flying an additional 1,590 miles.
It should be pointed out that most of the tickets quoted to make up the individually priced Oneworld and the Build Your Own itinerary are non-changeable and non-refundable and you may not wish to commit to dates before departing on your trip. If you book these tickets as you go along there is no guarantee that prices will remain stable.”
These fares were checked and available on 28th July 2025 and fares in foreign currencies were converted into GBP at the applicable exchange rates on that date.
Because a Build Your Own itinerary worked out cheaper than a LGLOB29 ticket for this route on these dates does not imply it would be cheaper on all dates or for a different route.
