We are looking to fly back to Glasgow from Melbourne at Christmas.

Can anyone give advice on the best place to look for cheap flights and how much you think they will cost.

try www.zuji.com.au
But remember - Christmas WILL be the expensive time to fly.

Don't know what age you are but if you are 26 or under www.statravel.com are really cheap for me and my hubbie. They quote online prices with Emirates direct from Glasgow. You don't have to be 26 but it does take that into account.

Trailfinders are also good - best to pop in or phone them - they are based in Sauchihall street and specialise in travel to that side of the world - we used them for our holiday to Brisbane 2 years ago and found the flights competively priced.

Good luck!

We recently did a return trip to Bangkok from Glasgow with Emirates Via Dubai. Emirates are excellent and Dubai airport is second to none. You wont have to deal with busy European Hub in the depths of Winter. You know what its like If one flake of snow falls at heathrow or Somebody smokes a Ciggie within ten miles of Schipol then youre looking at 4hrs delay.
I would recomend them: http://www.emirates.com/uk/index.asp
Beware though it'll cost you flying ove the christmas period! Scary prices :scared: but at leats you wont have to go via Heathrow the hell-hole of airports!! And its only one stop at dubai FANTASTIC!

PS I wouldnt hang around either, I hear flights to and from OZ over the festive period fill up really quickly, you probably know that already but I just thought id say...
