Sorry to let down those of you who know how much we paid for our round trip airfare to Brisbane last year, but it seems like we flew both ways for the price of one way.  I've been trying to check back every once in a while, and it seems like $1200 has been as good as it gets.  It seems too that Bing's fare predictor isn't such a pro at working internationally, but Kayak has one that gives you a price chart based on departure date over a one month period.  For anyone curious, here are some things that are going to be happening in Melbourne:

January 18-31: Melbourne Open Tennis Championships
January 23-25: Australia Day
March 25-28: Formula One Australian Grand Prix

These are just the few that I have heard of recently.  Depending on your preference maybe you will plan for or around them.  There are also TONS of music and wine+food festivals here as well as sporting events and races!


We miss you guys and hope we will see some more familiar faces soon!

  1. Screw Quantas, I just looked on Kayak and Delta has round trip flights from seattle to melbourne for less than $500 per person.(450 at the end of feb/beginning of march and 495 at the end of march/beginning of april) The catch is that you've got to change planes in atlanta?? Still, probably worth a 700 dollar discount, and it would get ya down under... -charla
