Who have people flown with in the past?
Only I need to start searching around for flights but i'm only coming up with £1k+ flights. I know full well you can fly for much less than that, but cannot find who is offering those type of deals.

£1k each return in August to Sydney. So looking at you opening post that doesn't help much!

December-February is summer time in Australia, so it will always be expensive then. To give you an example, I paid £1400 for 2 weeks through Thomas Cook 2 years ago, flights and hotel included.
If you go say in May time, it will be half the price for obvious reasons.

Aye maybe, but we can't go any other time, thats the only problem. If I have to pay £1k I will, but i'd rather not.

It's not a problem, but anything cheaper will give me more money to blow when i'm over there

Good prices, time of the year must dictate that I suppose.

did a search between 01 november 07 and 30 november 07 - may give a better idea, as it would not let me do the dates you wanted;
