Great deal on offer for flights to Australia with Royal Brunei from £499 return.
It’s a rare day that I don’t get a question about flying to Australia at Christmas. It seems you are all obsessed with being Down Under for the festive season!
I’ve written about this LOTS so I will try not to repeat myself too much! BUT here’s my advice, and what’s out there to book NOW!!!

I am a huge fan of Kirstie and Phil and their location/relocation on-screen shenanigans, so am doubly excited that this week sees the lovely Phil hot footing around Australia helping people to buy a house Down Under. Phil Spencer Down Under is on this Friday (22nd January) Channel 4 at 8pm.
There was an article in the Sunday Times at the weekend written by Phil where he listed some his ‘ideal’ places to live in Australia.
So where does Phil like (and do I agree?):
Spotted this deal from a couple of travel co’s today… sale is only on for 6 days so thought better write about quickly!
Cathay Pacific are offering flights to some of their Australian city destinations for under £600 in May and June 2010.

It’s that time of year again — holiday planning time! With the (freezing where I am!) cold weather upon us, and a year of resolutions to uphold (mine always include travel), January is well known as peak holiday planning time.
Something to consider when planning a trip Down Under is the school holidays in Australia, as like anywhere this will add to road, rail and air traffic, and of course to the price of places to stay.

Now don’t get too excited — there are not the deals around that we saw in 2009. BUT there are some good fares for sale, so if you’re planning a trip Down Under this year it’s worth taking a look…
