    sydneyswans910 is planning a trip to New York city and has discovered that Korean Air is $450 cheaper than Qantas. Our member wonders
    is it worth it to fly the extra hours to stopover at Seoul (approx an extra 15hrs all up) and save some money, or go Qantas? … Are there any other airlines I should consider?
    Qantas vs. Korean Air. Well, it depends
    on your frequent flyer program, how much you value your time and what seats you are seeking amongst myriad other factors.
    That said,
    If Korean offer a free overnight in Seoul each way, then take it. They are a great airline.
    The other advantage of Korean Air, is that you avoid transiting in LA.

    Other options include
    take Cathay Pacific from HKG and fly direct (or stop over briefly in Vancouver)
    or take Jetstar to Honolulu, spend a few days in Hawaii and then on to NYC. Again avoiding LA and at about the same cost.

    Our member Dalescott repots on a recent business class trip to London with Royal Brunei.
    My wife and I travel to and from London in Business class, every year around March/April. We fly with a different airline every year, after having used EK for a number of years. This year we used Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA), and we were not disappointed.
    He describes the aircraft as 'ex SIA Boeing 777-200ER so they are not rubbish'. The service is 'first rate'. The fare was $3,800 which is cheaper than Qantas Premium Economy.


    The catch? Royal Brunei doesn't provide alcohol – but they are happy to serve you your own! This is clearly a problem for some of our members
    the lack of alcohol for me is a bit of an issue: after all 100% of my travel is leisure and when I hope on a plane I want to celebrate.
    Other members take a more pragmatic view
    For the money you save, you could be taking a bottle of Mouton Rothschild or Lafite on each way for your booze supply, and still have change. Alternatively, think of it as someone offering you $2k-$4k to go without alcohol for 48 hours.
