      Question cheaper time of year to fly back to uk???

      Hi

      I'm just wondering for those who've already done the reasearch, is there a particular time of year to book flights to England, and is it cheaper to do it way in advance?
      I was thinking it'd be better if we wnet at uk summer time as we'd probably be able to tolerate the weather better, but we'd still have to take jumpers anyway compared to here!!

      Any advise much appreciated.

      I have been looking at October which seems a bit cheaper with Etihad which seem to be the most reasonable.

      2/Flight times/waiting times etc etc
      Just pay the xtra to go from Adelaide ( $400 ) believe me i've done other routes and its not worth it.

      Were looking at $2200 return per person to fly back to the England in February returning in March with Quantas from Adelaide-Sydney-London, stopping at Singapore to refuel, its a 27 hour flight with 2 hours in Sydney. there is one that is an hour shorter changing at Melbourne but its $150 more per person and I want to fly on the Airbus A380 :)

      We are flying adelaide-birmingam, adelaide to melb: virgin blue then melb-birmingham emirates. This cost $3990 for the 2 of us. The best thing to do is find the best online deal you can and then go to the flight centre and they will beat it. You can get even better deals than we got with other airlines.
