Flight to Australia - how to get a deal?

[finlay666]

Have friends who are airline pilots. My last flight to the UK was an ID90. That's a 90% discount. The downside is it's space available, and I ended up going via Ireland as that was the only space I could find.

I've found to go to USA via Dublin the best way, clear customs in advance and It's significantly (from £850 to £1100 in comparable tickets) to fly to dublin first then onwards after

Have a look at http://matrix.itasoftware.com/ I found a fare for £20 more than economy that let me fly back from the US premium economy
