Try www.kayak.com

just did a quick search and one came up with Etihad for £1097 leaving on 18th Sydney to Manchester.

Good luck and safe journey.

Aw honey. I can't help with the flight, but I'm sorry to hear that you have had the 'call'. If you need anything, just ask

RIng Qantas and tell them the circumstances. They will usually do their best for any Brit that needs to get home.

Hugs from one whos been there.

Agree with Pollyana - my DH had "the call" re his Nan back in Aug 06 and we phoned Qantas straightaway (it was about midnight here in Sydney) and he was on a flight at about 5pm. They were fantastic.

((hugs)) to you, it's every expat's nightmare, to get the call

My dad used Emirates and www.leestravel.com as they are good at finding last minute deals when we needed them for our call.
Hope you get something soon x0x0x0x

Very sorry to hear it, I received "the call" 2 months ago (my Mum) & had to go the other way - out to Oz pronto!

Emirates were great & got on a flight the following day, I could've travelled that afternoon but couldn't get down to Heathrow in time!!

Can't help with the flight but just wanted to say my thoughts are with you, I think we all dread 'the call'

Had the same 'call' 3 weeks ago about my mum- used Emirates Perth to London within 48hrs, although she was in Birmingham. They let me return from Brum rather than having to trek back to London which was useful. You can pick up tickets at their city centre offices and pay in any currency.
