Cost of flying

I recall that it cost me about $2000 (Aust) to fly from Australia’ east coast to London back in 1980. It might have been slightly more. From (shaky) memory, it was about the same in 1985 (though it took about 37 hours, as I took a long-winding but cheaper route).

The airfares today are not much different. Does anyone have any comparative costs? Is it true that, in real terms (relative to wages), airfares are much cheaper now than they were 20 to 30 years ago?
