Default good deal on flights to Australia-be quick!!!!

Hi,
Have just got this link from an email. Flights to Oz for under £400
The catch is that there has to be 2 travelling together. The first person pays £499, the second goes for £249, return.
For travel to Sydney or Perth on dates in November and December.

No good for me but may be of use to somebody.

THESE FLIGHTS ARE ONLY VALID TODAY!!!!!!

Source: Austravel

Hope the link works

Tracey

Of course I don't. It must be noted that its only valid for today though.
Seems cheap to me. Is it cheaper than a one-way flight?

Not sure, I looked on a couple of airlines the other night to fly Sept or Oct and it was just over £800 for the pair of us.

Good idea though for validations!

No, just tried it and it doesn't seem to be working. There is a list of shops on the site though. It might be worth ringing them.

If you browse the site you get passed to, using the special offers tab, you can still get there.

cheers,

If you look at the page there's a little asterisk next to the price. In the small print it says "Unless otherwise indicated, fares listed on Travelzoo do not include all applicable taxes, charges and government imposed fees." This can add an extra £100 per person or so.

ALSO - it's flying with Thomsonfly. To be honest I'd rather pay more and get there without deep vein thrombosis due to having sat in a cramped charter seat for a whole day.

30 inch leg room and no personnel tv screen...I think I'd rather pay more too!

Definitely. Malaysian have 34" and towards the end even that felt cramped - especially when the t****r in front decides to fully recline his seat while you're trying to eat!

Oh well, I didn't look into it in detail to be honest as it is no good for me. Wrong place/wrong dates. It was worth having a look though

Thomsonfly wanted 500 more for an extra 6 inches...out of principle I'd book with an other air line even if it cost more.
