Hi wac and jill.
The flights were on the internet but the high street branch gave us that price - p.s car hire through agents seems a lot dearer though as is picking the car up at an aiport and not the city depot.

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

We paid 3300 for 4 adults and 1 child, fully flexible tickets from Heathrow to Brisbane on March 29th but they are return tickets and will be cancelling the return flights, for a refund, once we have exchanged contracts on our house
