Single or return ticket?

Hi

I'm new on this site, finding it quite addictive reading and really helpful.

I am wondering if when we leave to go to Australia, we should book a single ticket or return? I presume with a return you'd need to put a date on it and it might only be valid for a year anyway. What have the rest of you done?

Susie.

HI SUSIE AND WELCOME TO PIO . NOT QUITE AT THE POINT OF BOOKING TICKETS YET BUT HOPE YOU DONT MIND ME ASKING - WHY WOULD YOU WANT A RETURN TICKET- UNLESS YOU ARE ONLY GOING TO VALIDATE YOUR VISA.

Hi and Welcome, We got one way tickets, I think the extra baggage allowance may be linked to the fact that you've only got a one way ticket and are migrating

I bought a return ticket, as I was planning to return to the UK for Christmas anyway.

Be aware that it is a lot cheaper to buy tickets from the UK than in Australia and that is also part of the reason why I bought a return. It is only valid for a year though.

For instance, I am travelling on holiday to South Africa in November and the equivalent GBP price is 950! I know for a fact if I flew from UK, I could do it for about GBP 550.
