Obviously, if you relatives are disabled then visitng may not be an option. But if they are in good health, I'd just be patient ...

As for flight costs: I was reading recently that Singapore Airlines are now thinking of starting up a "no-frills" service from the UK to Oz and back. Return flights for £300.

P.S. My MIL has also said she'll never visit - but we're still moving to Oz.
