I did this a few years ago going from Manchester,UK to Newark via Heathrow. Business class on BA looking on Expedia was nearly £4000 but exactly the same flights on same search booking as Finnair came up at less than £1800

It can get even more complicated than this: I was flying from UK to Australia in 2019: The best route/duration was Emirates Airline; unfortunately they were not affiliated with my preferred carrier for Frequent Flyer Miles, British Airways, and neither of these airlines was the cheapest: That was Qantas. However, I managed get the best of all worlds: The cheapest ticket; the best route; and the FF miles, by buying Qantas ticket, that was fulfilled my Emirates, and eligible for BA FF points via the One World Alliance.

Hi, I tried a number of the flight comparison websites to look at the worked example and couldn’t find one that worked as shown. Which flight comparison websites are best for this? Thanks. Tom
