Why we like it
Long-haul to Australia usually costs considerably more, so this is worth investigating. The included bag saves you a tenner or two with most carriers on this route. That said, you're looking at a serious journey time (typically 20+ hours with a stop), so factor that into your thinking. Availability is likely tight given the price.
How to book
Head to Jack's Flight Club to check availability and lock this in. They've spotted it; now you need to verify it's still live and suits your actual travel dates before committing.
