Return Flights: London Heathrow (LHR) to Melbourne (MEL), Australia (September Dates) £503 at Skyscanner

Deal Description

Return flights from London Heathrow to Melbourne in September, shown via Skyscanner, sit in the same bracket as other budget long haul itineraries you will see on comparison sites, often competing with the likes of China Southern, Air China or other one stop routings. This one is with Shenzhen Airlines, routing through Shenzhen (SZX) in both directions, so it is geared towards price first rather than the quickest journey time.

Who will get on best with a Shenzhen stopover?

If you can tolerate a connection, a Shenzhen layover can make sense for travellers who are flexible on total travel time and want to keep costs down. Check layover length and airport change requirements, and make sure you are comfortable with the transit rules for China, as these can affect what you can do during the stop.

Route: LHR to MEL with a stop in SZX each way, useful context if you are comparing against direct or Middle East hubs
Timing: September dates, better for shoulder season travel than peak summer

About Skyscanner

Skyscanner is a travel search website that helps you compare flights, hotels and car hire from many airlines, hotel providers and rental companies. It focuses on finding and comparing prices and routes rather than selling travel directly. Typical savings come from comparing lots of providers in one place, using price alerts, and checking flexible dates or nearby airports to spot cheaper options. You can also find lower prices by sorting results by cost and filtering for things like baggage, stops and departure times. Skyscanner works as a metasearch service, so when you choose an option you are usually sent to an airline, hotel site or online travel agent to book. The final price, payment and customer service are handled by the booking provider you select.
