China Eastern and Gulf Air are usually cheapish, but at peak times they might be expensive. Talk to https://www.trailfinders.com and ask about flight+hotel deals, even if you book 1 night's hotel accommodation it might be cheaper than flight only.

Thanks for your comment.
How does that work?

£800 will get you to Bangkok for those dates. I have noted charter flights for those approx. dates for around £899 in the Daily Mail.

As already said by other posters Dec-Jan is peak time and hence most expensive for flights to Oz.

Try Airline Networks, they have flights from £1200 which isn't bad. For your info thats about what I paid when I went to Oz for X-mas 1991.

China Eastern comes in at £1022 from London, with an overnighter in Shanghai.

China Airlines, via Taipei, £1080 from AMS(Netherlands).

Cathay Pacific, via Hong Kong, £995, from CDG(Paris) 16th Dec to 7th Jan

i booked tickets at the weekend for december, going out to perth and home from cairns from www.austravel.com - i got them for £760 with cathay pacific, but the cheapest price quoted on the actual cathay pacific website was over £1200. given that it isn't actually a return fare i thought that was an excellent price. i would recommend giving them a call (or, alternatively log on to the website and request a call back). trailfinders quoted me £1000 travelling with qantas.

looking on the austravel website 15th december to 7th jan they *seem* to have flights available around the £750-£850 mark but you're better phoning them.

I usally search using the following company's

STATravel
Trailfinders
Flightcentre

and sometimes Bridge the world have good deals.

They all have sites so you can check it out online.

The flights shown on the Austravel site don't include taxes and charges.

Hello thetope
Thanks for taking the time to post a reply. I've just tried the Austravel web site but no joy for the dates she would like to go. I expect I'm doing something wrong so I'll try again later.
