Flights to Oz In August
Wanting to go for yet another look at Oz to triple check we are doing the right thing.
Flying from Manchester to Brisbane or Melbourne in the school summer holidays, only went last year, but didn't see Melbourne, which is where we are thinking we might like to settle.
Can anyone recommend who to book with, there are 5 of us and the prices are sky high !
Are there any travel agents who have sales of unsold seats ?
I'd be grateful for any information.
Thanks

You could try keep checking www.leestravel.com and sign up for their emails as they have sales. Others are www.travelmood.com and www.travelsupermarket.co.uk which may just throw out the odd bargain.

Three flights to check what the place is like? For humanity's sake hurry up and decide. All those greenhouse gases, you must be on a par for air miles with Tony Blair.
