Sydney & Melbourne 🦘 in £820s-£880s rtn

Premium Deal Alert: 11 February 2025

Well, this is a welcome surprise :-)

Cheap flights Down Under from cities outside London can be few and far between. So, we love when the airlines come together to make it possible!

We'll keep it short and sweet because we know how much you love seeing Sydney or Melbourne in your inbox — and here, you've got the one-two punch. The only catch is the dates on this one are limited to a little bit of June, but mostly November.

That being said, if you can swing it, having a checked bag included makes these prices pretty sweet.
