Worth shopping around. Alot of my friends get good deals, better than what i got, so it can be done.
I'm hunting for a good price for 4 of us again in Jan 09..let you know.

At least it was lower, only abit though!

Maybe it's because it's summer you want to go back to UK, i went in the winter months.

Prices have almost doubled this year on US to UK flights.

Flying in June/July/August are the most expensive months to fly.

Try www.bestflights.com.au

I got a quote from them and took it to flight centre who beat it for me, was only $850 plus tax one way, was $1200 return!

nd that was for July next year.

PS

Just did a quick random search on the site for you (1st june to 30th, Melbourne to Glasgow total cost for 3 people return including all texes was $4,300 (it was putting you on Emirates too) play around wit the dates and you’ll get it cheaper – print out the quote and take it to flight centre and they will beat it again for you.

Tried Asiana? (I keep saying this, and nobody ever does )

I've always found it to be about $2.5k for an adult (from Bris to London) and 75% of that for a child (2 to 11). Once the child is 12 it's adult fares

So those prices sound about $500-$1,000 too expensive.

Mikeyc there is something wrong about that link you posted. My screen just says "It works!" what's that all about.

How odd? I just tried it and it says the same.... maybe the site is down for the moment? was fine earlier and is usually fine, lol.... try again later I guess?

We wanted to go back to the UK for Christmas and New Year. Struggled to get anything reasonably priced flying out of Adelaide, so ended up booking flights home on Christmas day, landing early boxing day, returning 3 weeks later. Cost us a whopping $13000! Anyone ever flown on Christmas day before?
