Best Time to Buy Australia Flight 2010

Thanks, after sleeping on it, it seems like too good to be true especially as the cheap flights are always from London :mad:. Even Emirates and Singapore from looking for our flights this year, never went as low as this so I'm really tempted.

for under £600pp to Australia, from your prefered airport, I would take it.

That's exactly what I've done. Booked flights departing end March and returning May for £582.71 (after Topcashback from Manchester). I think this is a good deal, well pleased.

Gosh that is a good deal, considering how far you are going there and back.

Just a 'bump' really as in the last 24 hours, alot of the prices around the dates I've booked have gone up on Qatar website. Most are now around £629 mark, so if you are still looking for Manchester to Melbourne sub £600 be quick!!!!

We want to go either in November/December of this year or January/Feb next year.

Any ideas when is cheaper? November seems to come in at around £680 per person.

Do even economy flights have good inboard entertainment?

As Dec/Jan is Christmas and holiday time in Australia, prices will be higher to reflect this. If you can hang on late Feb/March (I think) would be a better time to go.

That said, £680 for November is pretty good, bearing in mind that I paid just over £900pp for November tickets last year.

I have flown to Aus with Cathay Pacific, Qantas and Emirates. THey all have seat-back entertainment which you can control to choose what you want to watch/do. I find the service with Qantas the best, but that is just a personal preference. I would choose primarily based on price and flight times/duration.
