As my two are over 12 now I have to pay full fare, so we are being reduced to going back one at a time. Best Fare I got recently was $1800 but that is flying Easter next year, Christmas and UK Summer from here seem to be the most expensive.
Are you having a long Christmas back or is the 12K for a couple of weeks - ouch?
Enjoy

We are going Singapore Airlines and staying for 3 weeks. There is a small discount for the kids, but it's not much.

Re: Just booked flights back to the UK for Christmas
Hope you have a good time, it will be nice to see everyone wont it.
We have booked for 2 weeks, but we are heading north, to Shark bay leave boxing day, struggling with somewhere to stay enroute though, everywhere is booked solid. Not due to arrive there till the 27th but wanted to break the trip up. Any hotel or motel suggestions would be good if anyone knows of any.

You should be able to do Shark Bay in a day, but failing that you could go to Kalbarri for a stop over. It's on a bit of a dog leg though so you do add a few Ks to the journey.

Yeah we had thought of trying to do it in a day, how long do you reckon it would take 9 hours or so?
Cant wait to chill and do a spot of fishing
