I don’t need to tell you airfares very from season to season and from month to month. Prices very by hundreds of dollars between high season (Summer) and low season (late Autumn). You should also note that the seasons are the opposite of North America’s. We chose to leave in May 2009, May being one of the lowest seasons. We had to compromise on the weather as May is the start of Winter in the antipodes.
At the time I booked our flights the cost from Ottawa to Sydney on Air Canada was $2,122 plus taxes. For QANTAS it was $1,429 from Vancouver to Sydney, add $358 Ottawa to Vancouver round trip on Air Canada. We chose QANTAS as it was a lower fare, the company has a great safety record, and the price also included three free flights within Australia. The name for this package is the Aussie Pass. On the topic of taxes, the real price on QANTAS was not $1,429 rather $1,957. Can you believe over $500 in extra charges and taxes?
