If your daughters 17 and full time student she might get a student fare, still OTT bloody aussie prices but they save around $200.

There is one aussie agent that promotes the fares I think it is STA ?? the rest of them should do the discount if you ask.

STA actually usually give their student price to everyone when price beating – it’s how they undercut flight centre, drives flight centre mad. STA just give you the student fare and tell the airline they’ve seen your student card.

Hi all

I just booked for my wife and two children, one of those now 13, so two adult tickets and a child for just over $7000! far out!! so decided to check the price of the same flights but going the other way on UK version of the website, this was a mistake!! the flights ended up being 1300UK pounds less when flying from London to Brisbaneon exactly the same flights!! I appreciate the exchange rate has changed considerably but even at the old rate of 2.4 its still heaps cheaper to fly the other way.

I hate being ripped off. Why is this ?????

Another one to look at is ucango travel, I booked with them in March to fly to Heathrow return in June (17 days and counting) 1 Adult and 2 Children flying with Royal Brunei $4750. Considering I am travelling in the school holiday period I was surprised at the price and purchased the tickets there and then.

Before anyway says anything about being a booze frere airline, I rarely drink, so it is no hardship for me to be on a booze free flight.

Worth a look at anyway.

My sister-in-law (who now works for Qantas) told me yesterday she can get a business class return SYD-LHR for $580!!!! She can also get a business class return for my wife for $1500. Unfortunately thats where the family benefits end and I cant get any quality fares...

...Now - how do *I* find a job at Qantas? I like the sound of those fares!!!

They also get a 'friend' pass who gets the family discount, lasts 6 months each time. They can keep picking the same friend or change it every 6 months. Get her to pick you next time.

Yup, I think that's called an ID90...basically 90% discount on the full fare...very nice perk indeed!
