    Hi

    I am looking for flights to australia for next eyar itinerary as follows:

    Newcastle to Tokyo (via Heathrow) 12/02/11
    Tokyo to Sydney 16/02/11
    Melbourne to Cairns 28/02/11
    Cairns to Brisbane 03/03/11
    Brisbane to Hong Kong 06/03/11
    Hong Kong to Newcastle (via Heathrow) 11/03/11

    The best quote I have had so far is £2749, the flights to and from the uk are BA flights and all others quantas.

    I am also looking for a campervan picking up Sydney on 19/02/11 and drop off in Melbourne 25/02/11. It is a 2 berth with shower and toilet (looks like a transit van) for £450.

    If anyone can beat these quotes I'd love to hear from you!

    Thanks

    Julia
