    Hi I am looking for a one way flight (for a relative) to Australia in late July/August.

    The cheapest I have found is through Skyscanner £473.
    I has two stops and takes 41 hours:eek:

    I/he realise that changes and long waits in airports make the flight cheaper, but is this normal?

    The airline is China Southern, any good reports about them please?

    When I flew to Hong Kong with China Airways (many years ago) they lost our luggage....both ways!

    Many thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi Carmen

    I would shop around a bit - maybe try some agencies like Expedia. Flight Centre etc to see if you can get a shorter flight cheaply - I dont do flight only so cant help myself
