Malaysia Airlines have specials currently and you can get them from Quest, Travelbag, Trailfinders etc, etc. Perth is £429 return incl taxes, Sydney/Melbourne about £70 higher. Flights from LHR and MAN only.

Re: best travel agents/airlines
We are flying out on a "buy one get one half price" deal with QANTAS that was on offer end of last year for the QANTAS birthday thing. We will try and cash in the unused portion of ticket in Oz, as it was much much cheaper to purchase a return ticket, than the one way migration fair.
I have to admit I like flying QANTAS... hate BA. Air NZ are nice too.

Quite often you can get it as low as £282 per leg, so £564 return. A lot better than £2500 
And still a lot cheaper than Sing or Qantas when I compared to their sites when shopping for flights.

always chocolate, and are nicest in the squarish format, split and filled with jam and some fresh cream, not buttercream...
the pink ones are rolled in an almost set red jelly, then in the coconut, for those interested in lamingtonology.

(I went to www.ba.com)hi - you are right - the one way fares are that much - if you choose a return fare on the first page you do have the option of + or - 14 days & the prices are around £500 - £600
not sure why there is so much difference tho

BA one way fares bough on the BA website are fully flexible and for business travellers.

Re: best travel agents/airlines
Is there a specific time of the year when travelling to Perth is cheaper?
And how much time in advance should one book?
