bestflights.com.au always seem to advertise good deals on flights.
I've never used them but get a weekly email with latest offers etc.

I have booked with flightcentre for the past three trips - they let me compare on line and then would beat the lowest price I can find. We are flying July with Cathay $2200 each including taxes - not the cheapest but the cheapest with the most direct with two flights for us. There are some a little cheaper I found but the stops can be a bit of a pain.

Trailfinders are also good.

I usually trawl around on the internet - Bestflights is pretty good, and then take the deal that I find into Flightcentre and they better it.

We got a fab deal for next Xmas.......I thought there were NEVER flights available when you wanted them using airmiles - but we've managed to book to go to the UK a week before Xmas and come home 2 weeks after Xmas using airmiles with Qantas!!! I was gobsmacked!

Hi, I think they were around $2500 with Qantas, flying out on the 17th Dec and returning on the 6th Jan. I can't remember whether that was with or without taxes - with I think. The kids tickets (which we are paying for - didn't have enough airmiles for them) were just a tad under $2000 including taxes. The flights are fairly direct - we have to go down to Melbourne on the way out and then via Singapore for a fuelling stop - then direct. On the way back we have a couple of hours somewhere in Germany (!!!??) and then again a fuel stop in Singapore. We were dead chuffed - it's saved us at least $4000!!! Not an amount to be sniffed at!!

Thanks for that,

It looks like a very good deal for that time of year.
