    Wow... I paid about that much 11 years ago with the Guaruda Indonesia airline who were cheapest then (probably because of their terrible safety record), but this is BA/Quantas, so that price is excellent.

    My 2 cents...

    You're inviting problems by using Jetabroad.

    The first reason is that they are failing to include all the Fuel Surcharges and Charges that Qantas apply to UK based passengers. Whether you agree with the charges, fuel surcharges or not they must be collected at time of booking, and applying ex-Oz/Nz taxes and charges, so you are underpaying.

    An example - I just checked a Bangkok return from London - their tax is £155.96. The actual taxes (& etc etc) should be £211.50, so you are underpaying by £55.54.

    This reflects in the Oz / Nz costs - you will see that Qantas are offering Oz for £499 and NZ for £509 legitimately, so why are Jetabroad £100 cheaper? It's not them having cheaper prices than anyone else, it's a bug (workaround / fix / rip-off, call it what you want!).

    The most pertinent question is what will happen as a result? Qantas will want to claim the money back they are losing out, be it from Jetaround or yourselfs. Re-acquaint yourselves with the Air France / KLM US threads a while ago as this is a similar issue.

    I'm not saying don't book for certain, just be aware that you are opening yourself up to future problems.

    And if / when future problems do arise, try and work out how they will be dealt with. You're dealing with an OZ based company, so try and ensure you're aware of any lack of protection and customer support issues.

    That's not a sleight on Jetabroad at all, just please be forewarned. The Air France / KLM Expedia.com.au thread is a good starter point to look at potential issues. It seems many of those who booked those wish they had never bothered (despite seemingly never having the 'missing' fuel surcharges collected from them).

    I booked KLM flights to NYC with Expedia.com.au in the great bonanza of last year. The only problem I had was a change in schedule on the return transatlantic flight, meaning a misconnect with the onward flight to London, which would have been no different if I had booked directly with the airline. Expedia made me aware of this in good time and were very helpful, giving me a choice of alternative flights.
    Once the flight is ticketed (use checkmytrip.com to check) your flight is pretty much guranteed, and you should also pay by credit card, not through paypal, to additional protection.
