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. |

Re: Return fares from UK to Oz
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.. |

Really? But I thought everybody always said it was cheaper to buy a ticket from here to there rather than vice versa, or is it because of the time of the year?

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.

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
