    I've got bargains before on the Japanese version of the Delta website...it's not unusual for a foreign version of a well known site to have bargain/error fares

    OMG that is so cheap for OZ return........but wait till you see the true cost after the Bank has converted the Reals into Euros :(

    London to Australia return is about €100 dearer!

    It's still going to be cheap(er). I flew to MEL - DUB rtn on pretty much exactly the same dates last year and it was about 780euro rtn so even with the exchange rate I've still saved about 300euro.

    That would almost precisely translate into the Air Passenger Duty from the UK which is I think circa £75 for Australia.

    Just a guess without checking but would these flights by any chance be with Malaysian Airlines?

    You can select your seats online using qantas.com.au manage my booking.

    Also if your stopover in Dubai is more than 8hrs you can book the 'Dubai connect' to get a hotel room. You also do this through manage my booking.

    The bargain is very tempting. Is there a way to view the Brazilian site in the English language?

    If you use google chrome it will give you the option to translate.



    It's pretty easy to work out though in porteguese...i don't speak it at all and had no difficulties with making the booking, choosing flights etc.

    I assume this is a mistake? And will they honour the flights if they made the error?
    I have heard of one way flights on lesser airlines double this price!
    Seems to good to be true?

    Airlines do tend to honour error fares. Certainly the one we booked on the Japanese Delta site had a decimal in the wrong place but they honoured it

    If it is an error fare, would it not have been corrected by now. I would have thought that the increased interest in certain flights would have raised a red flag fairly quickly.

    It depends on the timezone...if it's night-time there before the flag is raised then you're fairly safe. That's what happened us.

    I have booked myself, my partner and our infant for about 830 euro total. I would have thought a single adult return fare would be more than that. Haven't been in touch with my brother in Perth so hopefully himself and his family aren't already busy on those dates. But great value in any event.

    Let's hope he hasn't used it over there to book the reverse flights to Dublin at the same time :)

    never been to Australia, although have always planned on going sometime. Had a look at Perth on the internet. Jaysus its miles from every where, (and yes I know Australia is big) seemly its the most isolated city in the world. That apart if someone was going to Australia for the first time is the Perth the place to go?
