migrant airfares
Does anyone know if there are migrant one way airfares? I have looked on the net for prices of airfares and they all seem pretty expensive, do they do any special deals for people migrating to OZ.
Please Help!!!!

Re: migrant airfares
If you are looking to fly in July or December they will be expensive as it is school holidays.

Phone Qantas direct and they will give you a price for a migrant (one-way) flight. We flew over in December last year and it cost us about GBP750 each, which was a good price for December but also gave us 40kg allowance each.

if you get the right operator at oz travel they are fantastic.. prices i have found also are unbeatable! but again depends on the time of year as already said!

I was told by a friend that singapore airlines are good and they do extra baggage for moving to OZ, We are thinking about using them when we go to brissy later this year. There was a thread on this forum about 2 weeks ago somewhere!! and someone was saying they had problems when changing planes half way through, they said that they had to pay for the extra baggage even though at the start of the flight it was ok?!! They recommended that whatever airline you use to get it in black and white before you travel that the 40KG baggage is allowed. Hope this helps you a little

Re: migrant airfares
We used Travel Bag and they found us one-way flights on special offer with Malaysian for £299 + taxes. Absolute bargain, and a good carrier. No extra baggage allowance though. I suggest you phone as there are often special offers with "must book and pay now" type conditions.

We are thinking of using Cathay Pacific as we are going to Cairns and its only two flights this way. Stopping in Hong Kong for a few hours!
I have checked on their website and the prices are the same whatever time you go so far. We said about going in August and everyone said its too expensive because of the school holidays in this country. I put in dates for now, the beginning of July, Mid August and some dates in September and they all came out the same.
It worked out at £2260.00 for three adults and two child places which we think is good as it is only two flights. Having to do three with three kids would be hell ! ! !
Not to mention having to make conversation with the wife for that amount of time too!
I did check the price again a few days later and it had gone down a coule of quid due to exchange rates. So we are chacking every couple of days now but it looks like we will be booking the 18th August. Leave here on Friday and get there on Sunday!

We have booked our flights with Travel Nation www.travelnation.co.uk
They were rec'd to us by GSB & Scissors who also used them last year. What can I say? Fantastic service!
We have paid £1390 for 2 adults, 1 child & 1 infant Manchester to Brisbane with Singapore Airlines.

Told him i was worried about someone having to pay the excess in singapore and he said they have addressed that issue with singapore airport and won't be any probs in singapore.
He also said the bags will automatically be checked through to the destination airport so i check in at manchester and collect my bags at adelaide.
