Hi:
I have just booked my flights to Perth from Manchester, we got prices from Emirates, Singapore and Cathay... Emirates was cheaper hands down, but the original cost to book direct was £900 each or there abouts, with expedia, it was £750, our final price was £670 each with ebookers.com stopping in Dubai airport for a connection 2 hours later (just enough time to have a walk around.)
Also try majortravel. they seem cheap, unfortunatly, they had sold out when we had our holiday weeks confirmed from work...
Shop around, I'd imagine it would be a lot more for when you want to go as it is their summer and over the xmas holidays.
