Qantas always have offers for flights between April-jun (mel/syd) so yes it's cheaper to fly to oz in the off season. Check their website to see the variation in their prices plus the offers.

I got a flight from Heathrow to to Brisbane for my daughter on February the 25th this year for £590 with Singapore Airlines they weren't the cheapest but we like Singapore Airlines and the stopover time in Singapore was the shortest.

hiya,
You've probably thought of this already....but only a couple of airlines fly directly into Adelaide so fare can be pricey. Have you thought about flying into Melbourne and getting a Virgin Blue flight from Melbourne into Adelaide?
I am off visiting friends in Sydney in march 09 and every couple of days I check the major airlines for special offers. It can pay off, the fares i were interested in were around £1100+ what with it being around easter BUT Qantas had a sale for a couple of days last week when they announced the new airbus service. I booked immediately and my tix including tax were £745, and after seat sale went back to being over £1100


Regards,

e

I don't blame you for wanting to fly direct, 26hours is way too long anyway.
At least you won't be hanging around waiting for your luggage and a connecting flight.
