Best wishes, Wendy We booked Nov for flying on April 1st and were glad we did as were told by Thomas Cook that the flight was nearly full as it is Easter so we had no choice but as it is the end of the ozzie summer for when you go the flights will be pretty expensive as we have found out with Qantas as we didnt want to fly with some of the other cheaper airlines.

If I were travelling in March, I would be searching for flights on a regular basis from now and if I see anything which I think is a decent proce I would grab it.

Guest littlesarah Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 In my experience, the only sales that have any degree of predictability are the 'earlybird' deals - which seem to be around 9-10 months before travel. Having said that, I've seen some good last-minute prices, but I've also had to pay through the nose for a ticket booked close to travel. It all comes down to which flights are popular and which ones aren't. When looking for flights to the UK this year, I found some good deals but with rubbish connections, so they were obviously reduced for a reason.

RockDr Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 We just caught the end of the earlybird sales for our trip to the UK in May. I would sign up to the emails formt he airlines you'd be willing to travel with, and keep an eye out for sales. If you've not had a good price between now and late January, then just book, as last minute flights tend to be expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
