Return fares from UK to Oz
Hello, wondering if anybody can help out somebody I know here in the UK. She and her son (so 2 adults then) need to fly from Newcastle to Brisbane after July 8th and will stay for about 4 weeks, she is pretty flexible however has to be back in the UK before the son starts college in September. A travel agent has quoted her £2800.00 for the both of them.
I have seen loads of threads on here over the years of people getting good deals on airfares, any ideas please?
Thank you.

Will they fly from Newcastle to Manchester or London, then Dubai to Brisbane.?
Theres probably cheaper but it may be more hassle. I tried to get as best a flight itinary as poss, even if it cost more.
Emirates cost for that route on that date is 3300 pound.. Or 2800 if you leave on July 7th..

She would prefer Newcastle obviously for convenience but if it's a lot cheaper from London then she would go that route.

Cheapest I've found on Travelbag is £1646 per person flying from Manchester via Dubai with a refueling stop at Changi too - that's with Emirates
Just found a flight from Heathrow, with BA £1372 - via LAX

Anyone using the LAX route - remember you will need to look at US visa requirements (ESTA/VWP etc) even if only transiting.

about 26 hours, we fly with air NZ , though LA but its cheaper than going other routes, with air NZ we go premier or business, you do have to check in but can leave luggage on the plane normally three hours and we off again

Where are people getting 26 and 36 hours? We flew this route a few weeks ago. 13 hours from Brisbane to LA and then about 9 hours to Heathrow
