Cheap Flights to Brisbane Australia from £485

Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines and Emirates have the quickest flights to Brisbane from the UK. Depending on the day of travel, these airlines require a single change of aircraft. Of these three airlines we recommend Emirates, for their 30kg of baggage in economy class, that's 10kg more than nearly all other carriers. (Excess baggage costs a fortune to Australia, you could pay over £600 for those extra 10kg, not a happy start to a holiday.) We compare flights from Manchester and London to Queensland's capital the best prices start at just £485 but any price under £1000 is good value for a trip of over 10,000 miles.
Brisbane Airport is 11 miles northwest of the city, lies on the east coast of Queensland. Tourists to Australia will find this is a good airport for travelling to Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast surfing beaches, Australia subtropical rainforests and Great Barrier Reef Marine Park north of Bundaberg.
