you have to buy by oct 31 so you don’t have much time to think about this.
good for travel btwn nov 5 – dec 7 (nov 20-dec 7 cheapest although i’m not around nov 18-dec 1). LA to melb is $1098/1198. flying to sydney is cheaper at U$998/1098.
they are quoting $455 to fly from the east coast to LA and i know flights are expensive right now but i’m sure there’s cheaper stuff out there. check the consolidators or last minute or anywhere really.
