I just looked at www.skyscanner.net and flying out on Thursday, returning 3 weeks later brought up a price of £1250 - flying out with Malaysian and back with Qantas. Have a wee look on there.

Airasia is working out a lot cheaper at about $1400 but that gets you to London so you'd have to make it up to Manchester. Also if you travel with them make sure you leave enough time between flights in KL as if you miss your connection in KL because of delay they will not put you on another flight.

The qantas website says you could get to London tomorrow and back next week for $3100 - $1510 for the outward flight but then you would have to get to Manchester - bus would probably be cheapest although train would be quicker.

So sorry to hear about your mum I hope you can get there!

Malaysian airlines own site flying out tomorrow from Perth to London and returning on the 8th August (which I am sure you can play around with) $2429.03 - BEST OF LUCK

Not sure if this is too late, but go see (or phone) a travel agent it's what they're there for.

Hope she continues to improve. It's not a good feeling being so far away.
If you are ever in the unthinkable situation just call the airlines direct, Qantas / Singapore / Virgin etc. and tell them why. You will hopefully find them helpful in getting you on as soon as possible without charging over the odds if you're prepared to take what ever they can offer.

Oh no. We tried this with QANTAS last year when my had a couple of days left. Wouldn't move a cent from top wack fare.
