    My boyf and I are thinking about moving to Australia this time next year. We have decided to go on a holiday in April and tour around to see where we would prefer to live and check out availability of jobs.

    I was looking on expedia, and the flights are costing around 1500 sterling... Is that the going prices??

    Is it better to book flights now or is it cheaper to wait til nearer April and what sites are the best to book flights on??

    :eek: No!

    Try AusTravel on Dame Street right opposite Trinity. One way should be around €700-€800, its better to book now I'd imagine.

    You should be able to get return flights for about €800 plus taxes. Book as soon as you know your dates.

    How ye. I am hitting Australia in Janaury with my missus for 6/7 months. We plan to stop over in Bangkok on the way for 5/6 weeks and in Singapore on the way back for a week. I have checked out some prices in some travel shops around Abbey street area. Can anyone recommend the cheapest place in town for flights like this? Cheers
