Thomsonfly charter to Australia - cheap but...
I would not really want to fly charter to Australia - BUT we may have to go out on a validation visit as our house hasn't sold yet. Thomson Fly have an offer on which would make the flights (for 4 of us) £1,000 cheaper. Has anyone done it and how horrendous was it?
Cheers

I'd buy some DVT socks and bulk buy aspirin if I were you. The legroom is not greta but they will get you there safely.

looks like 29inches, which is not good, might be worth it if saving £1000.
