It's that time of year finally!

Camino Frances (2014)
So prices for flights from Australia to Europe have finally begun to drop, which means that my family will be able to book soon and it'll actually feel like we're on our way!

Some people think that the Camino is a cheap experience, but not when you're coming from this far away! The airfares make up half our expected expense for the whole trip.

We've been waiting so long for this time of year!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Hi Laliibeans. What time of the year are you looking at travelling to Europe.
Could you give a general idea of the price range offered.
Tks Gerard
 
I also am about to book my flights from here in Perth - intending to leave here around the 20th April, 2014 -. I do so agree with you re the cost of the airfares from Aust.....not an inexpensive exercise at the best of times. Buen Camino.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Yes, Lalibeans and Susanwee it was good to hear that the specials had begun. I looked a couple of weeks ago and was horrified at the prices to Barcelona from Perth.
I'm thinking about the Norte next May. Emirates are down to $1550/1650 or thereabouts for certain flights a big difference from $2600.
 

Hi there, that's great news for me, as it looks like my Camino del Norte will begin next April...maybe booking now is a good plan..., I hope to catch up with everyone at the next WA meet up, any dates yet? ;-)
 
It isn't inexpensive from here either. The least expensive flights I've seen are about $1300 unless I want to travel for twice as long as the more direct flights would take and even then the savings is just a couple hundred $. Hardly worth the time and hassle.
Hope you find a good flight at a great price.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

From Adelaide Emirates and Etihad are both below $1000. Heading home they are still over the $1600 mark, but I'm sure they'll come down soon, too.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
I have been watching flights from the US and they continue to hover around $1300....
 
Prices from the southern hemisphere usually drop markedly between September and February because it's the off-season for us (people like to spend the blistering hot summer here for some unfathomable reason). I've never really understood the logic of it, given that I've always planned flights well in advance and had thought that was typical. Apparently not though! From talking to a few people, they only book flights a couple of weeks before they go (in Aussie winter) so by then the prices are almost double what they are in off-season.
