Yeah, you're right! I've just emailed them again though (To the branches email address this time as my adviser is on annual leave) as I'm using STA travels own flight finder and finding flights for the £1,200 inc. taxes and fees with the same conditions! (Economy, departure just 2 weeks from now (29th July) and the return date being almost a year from the departure date) so it still doesn't explain why my flights were so expensive as what she said is that the reason it cost me this much is because i booked the flights so soon (6 weeks from the departure date) and that it's a busy time of the year (Even though it's Winter in Australia!?)... Oh well! I could of totally bought a camera for that £500! Haha Thanks

I can't cancel unfortunately My receipt says "Your cancellation conditions/charges are: FULLY NON REFUNDABLE AT ALL TIMES" My flight is 10 days from now also. I spoke to STA Travel and she said it was a good deal... But, of course she would say that!

I'm extremely concerned how STA Travel charged me £1800 for my return from Heathrow to Syndey (Economy) My receipt shows "Air Fare: £1,255" and "Airport Taxes, Surcharges and Fees: £538.51" I hadn't looked anywhere else at the time, i assumed STA Travel looked at all the prices around and look for the best one but i can find RTW flights for cheaper than this! Oh well, too late now
