Default Visiting UK anytime in next few weeks...

Hey people.

Can someone recommend me a good DIRT CHEAP airline website which is very flexible with dates so i can get a good overview of cheap flights.

Im happy to go form Sydney or Bris to any London airport.

Happy to leave anytime now or in Aug and be there for 2 weeks or anytime between 2 weeks to a month.

I'm just wondering if theres a good airlines site which lets me browse cheap flights rather than making me specify because i could spend HOURS clicking 'from' and 'return' dates to find the cheapest.

Thanks people

Anytime now is going to cost you big. It will only get cheaper when the all the Olympics are over so late August but then you have to deal with the UK school holidays still happening so good luck.

STA travel is a good one,

you can specify a whole month to travel in and just select the cheepest flights from the matrix that it provides for you,

i have just booked my flights to Oz with them,

Actually...there are should be some good deals going on at the moment as people are avoiding the UK whilst the Olympics are on. I'm travelling up on my airline staff travel as the flights are only about half for both sectors, and same coming back just as the games finish. Having said that, prices may stay high as airlines try and recover costs due to drop in pax numbers.
