Re: Costs of flights back to UK
Yep more expensive, and the prices are advertised wihout taxes, which are now between $400 - $600+ a person 
Cheapest time to get out is late oct or feb, of course people with kids in school cant go then so for. But you see ads fro around $1499 plus the taxes, so even cheap airline, cheapest time you are now looking at $2000 minimum, much more expensive school hols, xmas.
Perth you might occasionally get a tiny bit cheaper.
Trip back for us as a family this year just under $11,000 :scared: :scared: and thats fares and taxes only. Sort of kills the much used saying family are only a flight away, yes a flight and a flaming huge amount of cash.

Re: Costs of flights back to UK
I flew back a few months ago and it cost just over $2k including taxes. :scared:
I think you will be lucky to find much under $2k from over on the east side (you may get lucky being on the west) but for rough budgeting use this figure. Certainly nothing like the 800 quid I flew the other way for.

Re: Costs of flights back to UK
Friends of ours had a bit of a row with Emirates a few months ago:
They booked flights for a family of 5 to travel back to the UK. They've had to pay something like $8k. They worked out how much it would cost them to do the same mileage from Heathrow to Perth then back to the UK....something like $6k!! The same amount of fuel is used....why the $2k difference?
They called up Emirates who said basically they can charge whatever they like in Oz! That's just the way it is. It's nothing to do with mileage or fuel consumption.
Disgusting.
