Default Last minute flights more expensive?

Is it possible to get late deals on flights in or from oz? It seems prices are higher the later you leave it.

I've been on domestic flights that have at least 10 or 20 seats free. They could sell these off cheap instead of them being empty.

I don't want to book my flights/hols 6 months in advance. Will charter flights come to oz?

They were here some years ago, I flew Britannia; Sydney to London in 1996. Very cheap. But they seemed to drop the flights.

Stand by flights seem to be very common, and cheap here.

Not sure you would want the average Australian charter flight....

Chartering an aircraft is about convenience...
- Your own dedicated aircraft and professional pilot(s).
- Flexible timetable, arrive and depart at times that suit you.
Airnorth, through its member airlines is a leading air charter provider in regional Australia. Our diversity of aircraft, experience and initiative allow us to provide the level and range of service that is expected of an airline today.
Our modern fleet provide air support for mining companies, defence forces and government bodies.

I booked flights a couple of days ago, leaving 18th Jan. The price was the same (more or less) as when I first started looking into them about 6 months ago. Whether or not they would rise sharply a few weeks or days before the flight I don't know though.

Sorry I can't be more help.
