Buying a flight Aus-UK-Aus from the UK
I seem to remember that the "rules" have been changed allowing people to buy a return flight from Aus to the UK from a UK agent. Meaning it should be quite a bit cheaper.
Has anyone actually done this yet, if so from which agent/web site?

Re: Buying a flight Aus-UK-Aus from the UK
I just looked on www.expedia.co.uk to see what it would allow me to do...
If you take the multiple destination option I managed to put in a flight from Perth to Singapore, then on the same day Singapore to london, then a couple of weeks later, london to singapore then singapore to perth.
It let me do it all but the price was over 900UK each :scared:
It gave the impression I could carry on and book it, so maybe something has changed, unfortunately all it could be is the UK agents are now able to sell a route from Aus to the UK for the same amount as we are already being ripped off by the Aus agents....

I did read somewhere that someone had booked through these people http://www.golfaustralia.co.uk/ but they had to call them rather than book through the internet.
