Flight ticket question
We want to buy tickets for family to fly out to us from the UK (to Brisbane). Is it possible to buy tickets this side in dollars from an agent here? Or do we have to book through the UK using either credit card or UK account.

Hi I thought of this when my son was coming over in July. Advice I got was you will always get better deals from place of departure.

You'll get much better pricing buying a ticket from UK than you would buying from Australia! - Even if you need to exchange money to pay for it it'll work out better.
Australians get SCREWED when it comes in to international airfares compared with Europeans!

Re: Flight ticket question
Okay, thanks for that. It will be for the end of July, which is always more expensive. There are offers for before and after July/August Sods law! Maybe there will be less demand next year with the current UK economy. I wonder is it safe to leave booking it till after Xmas as we are tied to certain dates. Or just safer to get it done and get the deposit paid.
