moment and then realised.

Doh......see I was so shocked at the $700 price rise I got it the wrong way round! Thanks.....it's bad but not quite so bad 
Still to much considering what they get to pay from the UK!

Have literally just checked again and the prices have all dropped.
All the big 4 (Cathay, Singapore, Emirates & Malaysia) are under $1900 for Perth to London in Feb.

We bought Singapore Air return 1x adult 1x child BNE-LHR for $3500 back in early December. We used a local travel agent, support local business etc etc even though their price was identical to that on the Singapore Airlines website.
It turned out to be a good idea - we hadn't actually got around to paying and getting the tickets, and got a phone call on a Friday afternoon from them to say that they had heard on the grapevine the prices were going up the next day. I thought it might be a bit of a sales tactic but figured we may as well just book them, so gave my credit card etc and got it all done. The next day the prices had gone up to $4250.
I normally don't bother using a travel agent and just book direct, but wow, they saved me a bunch this time!

Flight prices tend to fluctuate from day to day. Even the day of the week can have an enormous effect. If you are flexible with your dates, try a few variations, you might be pleasantly surprised. When we flew with Emirates last year, there was about a $500 difference in price over a 10 day span.
