Glenn Wanderlustau Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Generally speaking mate, avoid public holidays and book as far in advance as possible. But.... flying on Christmas day or New years day could provide some serious bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need cheap flights with emirites, wouldnt mind direct flight? cheers Xmas - New Year is the busiest travel time in Australia: schools are on summer holidays and many businesses close for their annual holidays then. Having said that, Xmas Day itself is quiet...most people want to be with their families then and not on the move. You need a cheap flight with Emirates - from where??? If you are coming from the UK you'll have to stop in Dubai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If you are coming from the Uk look at flights which are actually in the air on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or the midnight New Years Eve/New Years Day spot. They are often the cheapeast because people don't want to fly on the actual day, they want to spend it with people. Otheriwse wait till prices drop on the 15/16th Jan. Emirates 'direct' flights involve a transit stop in Dubai with two security searches and snooty unhelpful staff -but you have to transit somewhere, no plane can fly direct non-stop.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm not sure about coming this way but we found that flights up until the 29th November were the cheapest and then after the 29th January. Our original return flight was New Years Day and that was a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell123321 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I agree with the Pom queen. We have always booked to fly when flights were cheap. The first time we went we came over end of October and second time was very end of January. I would imagine between Christmas and New Years to be expensive unless you fly on actual Christmas day as its the holidays for both countries.

If not Nov, late Oct and march aren't bad, but avoid Easter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
