free bag Melbourne 🦘 at £699 rtn from London

Premium Deal Alert: 7 June 2024

Consider this your reminder to finally track down a packet of Tim Tams (if you can...).

Here's the low down: you can book with Royal Brunei and get a guaranteed checked bag for £790s-£820s rtn.

Or, you can book trips at the price we've listed with an online travel agent (OTA) by looking at flights that are in the £790s rtn on Google Flights' calendar. From what we can see, Gotogate or Travel Up are your best bets for getting a checked bag on these. Read our guide on booking with online travel agents if you're unsure if it's worth it for the discount.

FYI, there are plenty of other dates with Star Alliance airlines in the £680s return, but these seem to only be working with OTA (and don't seem to include a checked bag, so you'll need to pack light!).

We've also spotted business class flights in the £1500s-£1600s from Milan to Sydney and Melbourne with Air India in July-November.

You'd have to organise your flights between London and Milan to work around the dates of the flights to/from Australia, but you can do that by checking your dates against Google Flight's Calendar.

Here are a few example trips that work with online travel agents on Skyscanner:

Finding trips

Step

1. We recommend Google Flights to find these trips because it has an easy-to-use calendar tool to browse dates and fares. See an example itinerary by pressing the blue button below.

Select one of the date boxes to expand the calendar view and see fares for each departure date. The fares shown will update if you pick a longer or shorter trip - trying different lengths can reveal more options.

Once you find dates at the cheapest price, select the outbound and return flights to see booking options. You can book with an Online Travel Agent for the lowest price, or go directly with the airline.

👀 Important: To find trips with a bag included, choose trips that are £791 return on Google Flights Calendar. These will go down with the online travel agent Gotogate or Travel Up, and do include a checked bag. There are other trips that listed in the £820s, but these only have a checked bag if you book with the airline.
