It’s time I got busy on the Asia 2017 trip. I’m doing airfare checks. Taking a flight 3 days from today that returns on the same day costs $157 on Jetcost. Taking a flight 30 days from today that returns on the same day costs $85 on Jetcost. Taking a flight 60 days from today that returns on the same day costs $91 on Jetcost. I got a slightly better deal at Cheapflights, especially for the 30 day window. Melbourne to Cairns was $146 for 3 days out, $112 for 30 days out and $100 for 60 days out at Cheapflights. Jetstar had prices Melbourne to Cairnes @ $109 but with 7 Kg of luggage. Tigerair has it for $99 w/7Kg luggage. All prices were in Austrailian $$$. To get U.S. dollars multiply by 75%. All Melbourne flights were out of Tullamarine.
