Fares to UK have dropped
Hi
Just to inform anyone thinking of flying next year - we've had seats reserved with Singapore (then the cheapest 4/5* airline) for months to fly in May return June at around $10.5k for 4.
Just called to check if the October specials were in and Emirates have gone down to $7365 if we could pay within 7 days. They were $11+ originally. Singapore are now down to around $9k.
If you were thinking of going and have the cash, now might be the time to book.

Thanks for that. I might have a look for tickets coming this way, for daughter when she finishes uni next year.

Re: Fares to UK have dropped
Yep, we've just booked return flights from Brisbane to Gatwick, via a Dubai stopover with Emirates over the easter period for $2400 each. Considering the fares were well over $3,000 a while back, we thought this was quite reasonable, especially over Easter. These cheapish fares are only available for a short time though.
