Traveling to Brisbane Australia

former_student

Hi

Im new to traveling abroad and I was wondering how I could go about finding the most cost effective way of flying from Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland to Brisbane in Australia, I am planning to travel in either September, October or November.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ryanair to Gatwick www.oasishongkong.com to HKG and then a Qantas or Cathay Pacific flight to BNE

or a through ticket to BNE via Manchester or London Heathrow in November when demand is low.

Travel agents such as www.trailfinders.com sometimes have good deals, incl flight+hotel if you want a stopover in the Far East.

Try this,

Gives you the dates for the cheapest fares too! You may want to consider getting a flight to the UK as it is not listing your airport choices on this website.

Also, here is a couple of flight comparison websites

Etihad have just started flying from Dublin, so they might have good introductory offers - although they only fly onwards to Sydney, it'll be easy to pick up a cheap flight from there to Brisbane. As Richard said, check out a good Dublin based agency - I think there is a Trailfinders in Dublin?

Thanks for those responses.

To be honest I am not the best in the world at using those sites to find ticket prices and after searching for some time I only garnered very limited success.

Out of interest what sort of prices would I be looking at for a return flight to Brisbane for two adults in November?

I think a travel agent such as http://www.trailfinders.com/address.nsf/ContactUS?readform&TravelCentre=Belfast
may be able to offer some possibilities. Sometimes they have special deals.

BTW www.evaair.com fly Heathrow to Brisbane via Taipei.

Etihad is launching flights to Brisbane in September so the Dublin flight to Abu Dhabi might have a feasible connection...
