Discount flights to Australia: a guidebook

What is the best moment to go there? As a rule, the low seat period for flights to Australia is from mid-April to the end of June. Please be aware that Christmas or New Year flights can mean better offers. It' s the date of the round-trip ticket that decides the price, so a little flexibility can mean big economies.

The best booking hours? Usually make your booking as early as possible - at peaks up to one year in advance. Please make sure to make your booking as early as possible. The beginning of January is generally a good season for selling and bargaining, but sometimes shops can come out of the woods. The Flight Center, for example, has a lot of selling Flashs.

Though Perth and Darwin are closer to London, air fare to various Australia destinations does not differ much and you usually have the widest selection of airline companies when you fly to Sydney. However, if you are intending to spend a lot of time in Australia, it may be a good idea to discuss a few choices with your local tour operator.

And Adelaide is an interesting option as it benefits from slightly lower rates and makes good business if you want to travel the Great Ocean Road. The Darwin Group has expanded its global capability and can offer an outstanding start when travelling in Indonesia (direct Bali-to-Darwin flights with Jetstar) or Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia Airlines now has A380 flights).

If you' re travelling with Qantas from London, you will receive a Walkabout Passport which allows you to travel cheaply within Australia and can help you get married to some domestic places that are normally costly to travel - such as Ayers Rock. Virginal Australia also has a flight passport which can be booked if you travel with a flight on Virgin Atlantic, Delta, Etihad, New Zealand or Singapore Airlines.

And there are other choices - the most important thing is to ask them before and not after you make your reservation. Which is the best way to make a reservation? What are the best value airline companies? In general, the lowest priced fares tended to be the ones that offered slightly more remote services, such as China Eastern (via Shanghai), China Southern (via Guangzhou) and Asiana Airlines as well as Korea (via Seoul) and Royal Brunei (via Brunei).

While some of the travel periods may be slightly longer than the quickest ones, they do provide some interesting stops. As a rule, however, you can only make these bookings via an agent. How about the rates for young people and students? One of the best places to go for more information and the latest rates.

Which is the best price for a flight back from London to Australia? They are some of the lowest rates currently available on the open skies, but they are available, restricted in bookability and restricted sailing times, and new business is constantly being done. Tariffs are all London refunds and include all applicable tax and fees.

Air centre: 589 to Perth (booking until 2 February), available for trips from 1 to 31 May 2015. £439 to Sydney or Melbourne with Malaysia Airlines, booking by 26 January for journeys between 14 April and 31 May 2015. Trailfinder: 684 to Melbourne, booking until 31 January for select sailings from 1 May to 15 July and Brisbane 684 to Brisbane, booking until 31 January for select sailings in May 2015.

How about the tariffs around the globe? It will not be less expensive than the lowest cost returns, but if you have enough travel you will find interesting routes. Bangkok Boomerang has STA (not necessarily around the globe, but a good selection of stopovers): Trailfinders has a classic Bangkok Boomerang trip (London - Dubai - Bangkok over land to Singapore - Brisbane over land to Sydney - Los Angeles over land to Boston - London) from £1,399.
