Get a good seat!

The obvious thing we would point out is that Sydney is one of the most distant destinations you are likely to fly to from London -- so you might want to consider seat comfort as well as price. Sometimes it might be worth paying a small amount extra for an airline which provides more legroom as standard -- check out the excellent Seat Guru website for further details on this.
