We paid £2700 for 4 adult flights, so annoyed about that our kids are 12 and 14 yet pay full!!!

We could have got 1 a bit cheaper but with this flight we only wait at Dubai for 2 hours before the next flight.

Got quoted £6120 for the same flight through a travel agent :scared: :scared:

This is not a brag but paid 2300 with Singapore airlines to Perth in April - 2 adults , 2 kids - nice flight with short one stop e.t.c. Searched travelmood and other websites and Thomas Cook actually came out cheapest.
Perth is cheaper than Brisbane though right?

Yeah I think flights to Perth are a bit cheaper.

I was surprised a lot of the flights were fully booked

I am just looking to book a flight to perth at the moment for 2 adults one way.
Someone warned me that it said over the internet one stop in Dubai but in fact you stop in Singapore as well - have I got this right?

We want to fly from Manchester

That is outrageous, does that mean they can drink alcohol if they pay full price!!!!! (Suspect not!!!) But ok to charge them an adult price!!!!

£ 6120.00 :scared: !!!!!!!! Who was that flying with??

Sounds like you got an ok deal in the end though, especially as you had to pay for adult prices for your children!

Did you book with Thomas Cook ?
If so was it over the internet, or at local travel agents
