Just in case anyone has a trip booked later this year.

Last month booked a couple of trips from LHR-AUS/NZ.

On checking fares last week noticed they had decreased by about 20% - after paying the cancellation charge on the flex tickets this ended up as a saving of around 16% (and still have the same seats on the same flights).

There is nothing showing up in the special offers section for these routings in J/F.

When this is added to the fact that LHR-SYD-CHC-BNE-LHR costs the same as LHR-BNE-LHR, EK seems a good choice at the moment.
