Now's the time to go to Australia...!

Interesting quote from Sir Richard Branson in a recent Telegraph travel section who reckoned that “British travellers are currently paying the same as they were when we launched the airline 25 years ago, If you have been wanting to take that trip to Australia, now is the time to so it. There are some unbelievable bargains out there.”

We couldn't agree more...but what he didn’t say was that the bargains are partly down to the fact that there are now around 250 direct flights a week from the UK to Australia, only a handful of which are Virgin.
