You basically can't do it. It's the ticketing that is expensive, despite the attempts to identify you as an Australian customer by where you browse from. My Laptop can pretend to be in the UK or indeed nowhere at all, and yet the Airline sites still identified me as Australian and gave Australian pricing.
We got Returns off peak in an advanced sale for $1,600 a seat, BA+Cathay, on decent aircraft (A380+777) and with decent flight times. Best UK pricing is around £800, so we weren't too far off that given the exchange rate.
We used a travel agent who were bloody awful. I'll give you the name face to face so you can avoid them. Never has so much been so fked up by so few. THEY HAD ONE JOB! ONE JOB!!!! (Sorry, it still hurts).
