Malaysia Airlines is running a seat sale, with return flights to Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland starting at a super-low £499, in taxes & charges (the next cheapest is c. £600).
Flights depart from London Heathrow between 1 April and 15 July 09. There is still good availability at the moment, but the sale ends this Sunday 5 April, so go quick.
How to find'em
The flights are available direct through Malaysia Airlines, but for a more advanced search you can use screenscraper Kayak. Enter your trip details and it’ll zip them to scores of normal airlines, including Malaysia Airlines, to find the cheapest.
If you don’t mind when you fly, there’s a quick way to get an idea which dates are available. On the Kayak homepage, enter London to Sydney (or the whichever destination you're looking for).
A box of ‘best fares’ should then appear on the right hand side. If you flick through the months, it should be clear which dates have £499 flights. Just search for a flight leaving on that date, and hopefully the cheap fare will still be available.
Remember for safety if booking, pay on a credit card to get extra protection, see the Section 75 guide for full info.
Don't assume its automatically cheapest though Always compare it to the results from the Cheap & Free Flights guide
Emirates also have a seat sale on and I just grabbed a return ticket from Glasgow to Melbourne for £549 !! Which is absolutely fantastic for a flight from Scotland not via London
