Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Every so often, Jack Sheldon from Jack’s Flight Club selects a flight deal from the UK for Independent readers that you can’t afford to miss. This week: return flights to Australia for £610 return.
There are good fares on offer to a good selection of cities in Australia, thanks to Singapore Airlines’ Black Friday sale.
Particularly noteworthy is an option to Darwin, in the Northern Territory, in the lower £700s. It rarely comes up this cheap – and even less so with a premium carrier.
This deal also works from Dublin with an extra stop in London. Manchester also has some similarly priced dates in September 2020, but have longer stops, as opposed to the convenient flights from London.
How to book
Head to Google Flights and enter your departure and destination airports from the list below. You may want to add a “Singapore Airlines” filter to the airline selection, to help find the dates included in this deal.
Use Google Flights’ calendar tool to help you highlight the best travel dates (they’ll show up in green).
Once you’ve found your travel dates you can book directly with the airline, or, for the best price search your dates on Skyscanner and book with an Online Travel Agent.
