Britpop Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thank you for the link I booked my flights last night through kayak with Qatar Airlines for £1100 with only 1 stop. Saved myself some money there glad it helped Qatar are a good airline too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britpop Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 That's my kind of price! Its funny because I was actually thinking the other day about wether people do it that way. Was on one of those cheapo airline sites - webstar or something like that! The problem with this though is that you spend what you save with booking flights out of Aus, more than in most cases. We are pretty lucky relatively with what we pay for flights. If you take £425 + the cost to get BKK to KL you're definitely going to pay more than £500 to get home so there's no saving on booking a return and actually will cost more. Not to p on the op's bonfire, just to say it's not good to advocate it as a cheap way to travel back and forth as in the long run it's not. It is worth it if you want to travel around Asia or South America on the way home but still not cheaper. Just less lay out right now. I don't think, if you can be mildly flexible with dates, you ever need to spend more than £1000 to get from London to Sydney. Any way, boring stuff aside...... We leave on TUESDAY to arrive 28th Oct - feeling nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose its good if your not sure when you'll be back so no point in booking a return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reapa108 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hi everyone Quick one: will be flying into Melbourne end oct / early nov to start 1st year working holiday...anyone else leaving for Melbourne that sort of time or already there? Already spent 3 months out there before 2years ago so know about the going alone thing being fine, just seeing if anyone was in the same boat as me and fancied swapping ideas etc? Also if anyone has a job or knows people for jobs in and around melbourne then would love to hear some of those details, the quicker I can start earning money the better! Thanks all, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakergaz Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Heading out on Sunday to Melbourne, it's come around so quick! Pretty much got everything sorted now I think! Just got to transfer my money over. Very rough plan is spend a week or 2 in Melbourne just to find my feet and sort out medicare, bank, phone etc then look to get some farm work asap ideally in Victoria or Tasmania! Really want to make to an ashes test in either Melbourne or sydney as well. Anyone else planning on getting to any of the ashes or got any tips on hoe to get tickets?
