Flight Prices And Visas
 
Hi

I have some friends coming out to Australia to visit me in August. Iwas just wondering if anyone had any sites where u could get cheap flights from? I have been searching around July August time and they have been coming up at about 900 quid but i know you can get them cheaper because i had a mate come out last July who got a return for 500 quid!! Trouble is he cant remember where he got it from!

Also which site do they have to visit to get a holiday visa and how long before they fly out should they apply for their visa?

August is peak time, so prices expensive. Peak cos of UK school holidays.

The prices of the flights seem to go down a fair bit after the 16th August. Austravel are very good and also I found Expedia.co.uk good as well. Good luck.
