We're looking at flying in September and having looked, they seem pretty good value to me. Especially since we're flying from Scotland which is traditionally a bit more expensive.

Have a look at www.netflights.com or www.expedia.co.uk

Oh sorry hon, it's accomodation only I can only say I have girl flu!

Try www.jetabroad.com.au

Emirates fly from GLA to DUBAI using a B777 or A330. From there you can fly on to Brisbane. Beats the whole travelling through LHR nightmare scenario. Don't know if it's daily, but I work at GLA airport & see it most days.
