Tour operator DialAFlight is delighted to announce a Malaysia Airlines sale on return flights from Heathrowto Sydney and Brisbane, Australia. Flight prices start from £795 per person, while a choice of twin-state and tailor-made holidays offer savings of up to £500 per person! What’s more, there are also 20 pairs of VIP lounge passes at Heathrow and the cost of a return flight (in any class) up for grabs!

In a brand-new interview with DialAFlight TV, Kate Young of New South Wales Tourism and Jane Nicholson of Queensland Tourism explain how Australia’s world-famous beaches, heavenly climate and diverse states home to the global city of Sydney and tropical Brisbane, make it the perfect destination for a twin-centre holiday or tailor-made tour.  In fact, with the pound now being 10 per cent stronger down under than it was last year, it’s never been a better time to visit Australia. What’s more, with the 2013 British & Irish Lions Tour kicking off next week and The Ashes following closely behind, this is set to be an ‘awesome’ Aussie summer for holiday-makers wanting to catch the sport!
