Tips for purchasing flights to Adelaide Feb 2013

Hi,

If anyone has any tips or tricks for buying 3 return tickets to Adelaide - probably from Manchester - for February 2013 I would really appreciate them !

I have just begun the task of researching the market and it is a bit of a minefield out there !!

So far sky scanner is my fave user friendly iphone ap and at the moment a return flight for feb 2013 is about £1065.

Thanks in advance,
Jane:o

    many airlines release 330 days out so there will be limited airlines that have released their flights so there will be little choice, (BA are currently available to the 17th, Qantas to the 14th, Emirates 2nd, Singapore 11th) if you are returning end Feb I would wait till end March/beginning April till all the airlines have theirs out
  • Thanks for the info. I am currently looking at going on or around the 29th January and returning about 3 weeks later on or around the 19th Feb. I think I will just have to wait another couple of weeks when more airlines will have their prices out.

    It's high season out that way, so don't expect anything cheap.
    Have a stop-over in BKK, KL or Singapore if you've got time.

    There aren't that many international airlines serving Adelaide http://www.adelaideairport.com.au/air-travel/flights-and-airlines#s_internationalairlines_collapsible

    Not sure if you want to go via another australian airport.

    Singapore airlines do MAN-SIN-Adelaide with a stop at Munich with no plane change.

  • When I have been to Adelaide I found it cheaper to fly into Melbourne and get a cheapo to Adelaide

    I'd probably do Melbourne or Sydney then an internal flight to Adelaide
