Travel expert reveals how to bag the cheapest flights between the UK and Sydney - from as little as £300

A travel expert has revealed how holidaymakers can snap up a trip from Sydney to the UK for as little as £300.

Posting on Instagram @getabroad.uk explains that he found two possible options to get a bargain flight from Sydney back to the UK.

The travel expert reveals that one of the options includes two stopovers along the way, while the other has just one.

He says: 'Option one is going to be using Fly Scoot. Now these guys have an incredible route between Singapore and Athens in Greece.

'They also fly between Singapore and Sydney.'

Fly Scoot is a low-cost Singaporean airline and a subsidiary of the country's Singapore Airlines.

The travel expert demonstrates how tourists can search for flights from Sydney to Athens on the airline's website.

He explains: 'You'll be able to see a number of fares at around the £260 mark.'

The travel pro highlights one option that includes a six hour transit in Singapore but admits that some travellers have 'complaints about the comfort of Scoot'.

However, he claims that at that £260 'price point, you can't really complain' explaining that it's around 20 hours of flying for less than £300.

After looking at the trip from from Singapore to Athens, the travel pro then searches for a one-way flight from Athens to London and finds a trip with Wizz Air in June for just £29, making the price for the entire journey around £300.

The flight option comes with 10kg of cabin luggage. The travel expert then explains that the second bargain route will be a better choice for tourists who want to check bags.

Option two requires travellers to either fly with Air China or Hainan Airlines. He reveals that both Chinese airlines include a stopover in China on the route.

The expert explains: 'I would definitely pick Air China, stopping in Beijing between the 5th and 10th of June. You should be able to pick these up for around £330.

'I'd probably prioritise these flights as they come with two checked bags included, it's also only one stop and on that stop over you can explore Beijing. So I guess it all depends on your tolerance of the Chinese airlines.

'For me, although £330 isn't the cheapest, booking flights one-way instead of a return is always gonna be more expensive to cover that distance of flights, I think this is still a good deal.'

It comes after Liz Stanway, a travel advisor for Sykes Holiday Cottages, exclusively revealed some of the oddest questions she's been asked by customers throughout her career.

One of the strangest, she told us, is: 'Do I need to bring my own toilet roll, or is that included?'

She added: 'This one comes up a lot as people often worry that when they reach their holiday home, they might be caught short.

'We also get a surprising number of questions about gravy boats at Christmas.'
