Flights to Perth via the States
Has anybody flew to Australia via America?. I've heard you get a larger baggage allowance. I would like to visit SAn Fransisco before finally going on to Perth.
If anyone has, who did you book your flights with? £1300 each withy Expedia seems steep to say the least.

We were thinking of doing exactly the same instead of going via Singapore, £1,300 sounds incredibly steep. You mentioned that fare was for return flights, if SF is a stopover for your final trip to Perth should you be looking at one-way fares (or am I being completely stoopid!) As you mentioned baggage allowance I presumed this was your flights to Perth. When are you thinking of going?

We are thinking of going through the states to Brisbane at the end of November via San Fran and Vegas.
We have been getting quotes of around £500-£600 (one way) each I think with Travelbag and Trent Bridge Travel in Nottingham so £1300 sounds way to high to me.

Dollydaydream, I'm too polite to say.....
Thinking of going beginning of September, subject to the house buyers actually moving in end of August. I'm loath to book flights before we've got their cash in the bank but I'm desperate to go now.
£500-£600 sounds a lot better. I'll get onto the web...

I was looking at flights this morning with Singapore Airlines, London-Brisbane for our family of four in Mid August. The quote came out at £1630 for all of us !!!!
This included a two night stopover in Singapore (didn't include hotels though)
Keep looking, there are great deals around if you look hard enough.
