Hi, we are flying to Perth one way and that cost us £1800 for 5 of us, on 15th August.
This is with emirates. We did loads of searches on the web, and airlines webs, then ended up phoning travel agent who beat prices.
Enjoy your party.

We're flying one way to Brisbane with Singapore Airlines on 18th June
£1298 including tax for the 3 of us.....that's 2 adults and 1 child.

Flew with them in February for our validation trip as well and thought their service was outstanding, great in-flight entertainment, loads of free drinks and ok food :)

I tried playing around with dates on the internet and also with Singapore Airlines. In the end went to the travel agent as we wanted connecting flights to Townsville etc. The price the travel agent quoted was the same as the cheapest quote we'd managed to find ourselves so we went with the agent and they booked everything door to door :)

Hi All,

We've booked on the internet with Travelmood. There are 5 of us but as the older children count as adults, its 4 adult and 1 child price. We're leaving on June 12 with Malaysian via Kuala Lumpur, one way, £1,895.00. We did loads of searching and even got my sister-in-law, who is a travel agent, to try but she couldn't beat that price so we booked it.

When we went last year on holiday it cost us £3,300.00 return with Cathay.

Happy searching everyone. :)
