well you wont believe it, all these lovely prices are non-existent, once you call them the total they give you, gives you a heart attack, once they include the airport taxes.
so we said ok lets go, and then they tell you there is no seat.
very stressful, I be the size of elephant, stress makes me eat.
so I have found travel agent through teletext, he said no flights at all to Adelaide for 27 of June on ward, fully
booked so we said try Melbourne, he has found 5 seat with one night stop over, advertise on the net for £2781, guess how much we have been quoted for on the phone £3401, what the difference.
So I dont know what to do, cause the say from 1st of July prices would double.
I hope we can find place in Melbourne to stay for a few nights before we go to Adelaide, ok I am trying to be positive.

now we still have to ship things over once we have sold the house, get jobs, wow so much stress still to come our way.
Hi, I just booked with thomsons travel agent.Only date left for flights was 27th june and that was only singapore airlines so i booked it for 4 adults total price inc tax £1909

I'm not male just wanted to say I didn't even know that asda did travel agent stuff.
Wendy, you are quicker than google. I bet you could get a fantastic job speed typing in Aus - what is it 200 words a minute?
Think you are fab. Will contact you when I want another visit to Aus

ok yesterday we went to trail finder in Kensington, and the girl really tried but not one single airline could she booked us up with, tried the flight centre, could do for 26 of June but we can only do evening flight 27 of June as my son is doing he's GCSE, we have to buy return ticket as we haven't sold the house, so I have just booked it the Malaysian airline with one night stop over in Kuala lump, it is the cheapest so far, well now its paid for, so we go Melbourne first, then hire car after a few days, drive down the ocean road go to Adelaide spend there 2 weeks then drive back to Melbourne then I'll be dead & very very poor by the time we get home.

can things go anymore wrong, its 3 adults & 2 children.
have you booked yours yet recently?

Hiya we have booked to Adelaide one way on the 27th of jJunewith mMalaysiaairlines with a stop over for 5 days in KL and it came to £1398 for two adults and one child. We booked through Austravel we phoned them. hope this helps

Why not take an internal flight with virgin blue, we are flying Gold Coast to Adelaide at a cost of only £45 each. C x
