Default How dose everybody book their tickets?

Hi,

We were wondering how does everybody book their ticket to come to Australia.
1. Do you do it on the net.
2. Do you go to travel agents.
3. Do you call individual airlines.

would appreciate your answer, as we need five tickets and want to go for the cheapest.

is it more expensive if you book your ticket one way, rather than return, cause once you are in, you might not want come back.
for some years.

But then again you might.

Probably not a huge difference.

No it's a little cheaper. If you are searching on the airline network website then just at the bottom of the search for flights box there is an option to "show more search options" click that and you can select one way.

Another website to look on is www.singaporeair.com I haven't found a cheaper flight anywhere yet, and believe me I've looked every week for the past 6 months.

Yes but that is only for Singapore airlines and they are by no means the best or the cheapest.

Hi G

we are all for cheap tickets, specially if we cant sell our house in time before we have to come Aus.
cause if we dont sell in time we have to go back sell it come back again.

I've compared prices for over 6 months and every time singapore come in with a price that's at least £100 cheaper than anywhere else ( compared to 8 different websites and operators ) for the same dates. The only difference between all the search criteria was the stopover city. This is not one of my priorities, I don't care which route I take as long as I get there.

So from Manchester to Adelaide I find singapore to be the cheapest.

I also don't care which airline I use.

The best way to get really cheap tickets is to travel at an unpopular time of year. The differences can be huge.

Ie. avoid the Australian summer, any holiday period or the UK school holidays.

Good luck
