Fly from London and Vancouver to Hong Kong. Oasis airlines are the first long haul budget airline in the world. Oasis airlines plan to fly to many other hubs in both Europe and North America in the near future. Fares start from HK1000 plus taxes. Seats on all aircraft have a 32inch seat pitch, which means you recieve more leg room than with Qantas or British Airways plus you also recieve a meal and there is also in flight entertainment.
If you do not wish to go via Hong Kong then check out fares direct to/from Singapore. Use the Expedia website to get a idea of who flies to Singapore and roughly how much. Qatar have some excellent one way deals, while KLM and Emirates also have good deals from time to time but not as cheap as Oasis Hong Kong.
