Expect to fly to Melbourne from Kansas via LAX next June or July, best place to find the cheapest ticket?
Looking at returning to Melbourne for two rounds of AFL action in June or July, pending the fixtures. Right now, most of the travel sites show $1550-$1800 to fly from Wichita to Melbourne. That is a ridiculous cost. I know it was 1995, but the first time I went to Melbourne, round trip was $1100. This will be my sixth time to Oz for footy, Qantas and United fly from LAX to Melbourne via Sydney everyday, whether I am on the plane or not. Any ideas on getting a ticket for $1000 or less? I think paying full price is silly, as I wrote above, the plane goes to Oz and back to LAX whether I am on it or not.

Answer 1 :
Well 1995 was 12 years ago! Prices do go up. Qantas really does have the best deals, and it helps if your schedule is flexible. If you're going for specific dates, that might cost more. However, you could try Orbitz or Priceline, you may get lucky. Beware of Priceline, however - you can set your own price but if any airline agrees to it, you're stuck with whatever time THEY choose, which might be at really weird hours. Good luck!
Answer 2 :
I've found that Air New Zealand has better prices than Qantas. Also, try Hawaiian Airlines (www.hawaiianair.com); they sometimes have a good price.
Answer 3 :
Try www.zuji.com.au They often have really cheap fares listed- particularly this far in advance........ i ended up getting a Melbourne-New York Return ticket with an LA stop over for $1300 AUD.
