cheap flights from the US to Australia
Is anyone aware of any good deals for flights to Australia from the US
west coast? I've hunted around on the web for days and don't really seem to be finding much outside of the standard stuff on offer from the major airlines and web-based travel companies like TravelZoo. I'm taking my American wife and our two children down under in the not too distant future so they can see my homeland for the first time, and as things stand the fares for all four of us are really going to add up to one big bill! (And yes, I have looked at the Qantas deal that includes three internal flights, but at the time of year we want to go, and where we also want to fly internally, we're better off looking for a straight up fare from LA and then just hoofing it ourselves within Australia via the cheap flights on offer from the likes of Virgin Blue.) Coming the other way I know you used to be able to get a really great deal from the likes of JAL because the flight nesssitated an overnight stay - courtesy of the airline - in Tokyo, which was okay by me.But there just doesn't seem to be any real bargain-basement equivalents on offer from the USA. Anyone have any information they'd like to share? Tim |

Have you tried ex-Hawai, and a discount internal fare within the US? |

cheap flights from the US to Australia
It looks like OZ has become just too popular! I just learned that
United is increasing the cost of frequent flyer flights by 20,000 for flights from the US to OZ.
