How much are they on the airline's website?

Thanks so much everyone. My gut is telling me to do it myself. But the itinerary from trailfinders seems perfect for me
Albeit £9600 for the 4 of us.

I think it's Momondo that tells you when the cheapest time to book flights is, it's usually about 60 days before flying.

Not if you are going to OZ over Christmas, get them booked ASAP. Book direct with the airline.

To be honest, for four of you, that doesn't seem such a bad deal.

You could probably do it more cheaply DIY but it would depend on how much you value your time.

I booked return flights but from dublin for £660 but the exchange rate was brillant. I booked it all myself but the exchange rates got worse for us got Oz now (I was getting 2.1 dollars to the pound in August 2015 when booking stuff, now it's 1.6 I think). Have a look on skyscanner for flights and trivago for hotels and see if it works out much different
