Fare was $2101.37 - $450 AMEX TC to equal $1651.37

I have not fully explored the options ex- MEL but check out MEL-ADL-SYD-CHC-SYD-ADL-MEL. This routing is showing promising prices on Matrix but would need to check on the Qantas website to confirm. Seems to work with differing starting and ending destinations. Found a fare for...

The trick is to use the multi-city tool to present a stopover on one of the flights rather then enter in each sector as a seperate flight. Using the multi-city we would add four flights; Flight 1: CBR-MEL, date A Flight 2: MEL-WLG, date A Flight 3: WLG-MEL, date B Flight 4: MEL-CBR, date B We...

I utilised my AMEX travel credit to book CBR-MEL-SYD-WLG-SYD-MEL-CBR in J (660 SC) for $1650 ($2.50 per SC).

Most of the shots are taken with a Sony a7R II. The inflight photos and the odd travel pic are from an iPhone.

The first full day in Athens called for the typical tourist activity – the guided tour. What better way to start than with a walking food tour! Meeting at 10am opposite Syntagma Square, the next 3.5 hours were filled with no shortage of delicious food. The tour included stops to sample olive...

After landing in Athens, I made my way to my Airbnb. I took the metro from the airport to the city which took approximately 50 minutes. A one way ticket is 10 EUR, or a 3 day "tourist ticket" is available including a return airport trip for 22 EUR. My Airbnb was located on Ermou Street, the...

Apologies for the lack of updates, I have had an enjoyable week in Greece – details to come shortly. I have just spent an overnight transit in Doha on my way to London. Having flown the last QR flight of my itinerary, now is a good time to reflect on my Qatar Airways experience. Flight #1...

Thanks for kind comments. @RooFlyer I'll incorporate some photos and notes about my recent QR flights shortly. After spending the morning admiring the Royal Barges, it was time to seek reprise from the rising temperature. Plus no holiday of mine is complete without some last minute work to be...

A new day dawned in Bangkok and it was time to see the sights. One might imagine that on a short stopover the popular tourist destinations would be the top priority. But why waste time and deal with the hordes of tourists when you can experience a whole museum all by yourself! Skipping over The...

The street food stall outside our first stop (Northeastern Thai food). Cooking up fresh Guay Tiew Kua Gai in the outdoor kitchen. The flower market working into the night. A street vendor selling a sweet, juicy fruit (I've forgotten the name, maybe someone can remind me?) The Wat Pho...

After dropping my bags at the hotel it was time to head downtown for my evening food tour by Tuk Tuk. It was a quick trip on the efficient MRT to Sam Yan where the adventure began. The tour consisted of five stops over the evening and sampled a wide variety of Thai food including; Northeastern...

For my two night stopover in Bangkok, I booked a Studio Deluxe room at Tints of Blue Residence, located in the Watthana District. This boutique hotel is big on style with a range of uniquely decorated rooms. I scored the Bangkok Blue room – styled after everyday day life Bangkok. The room was...

Hello, Welcome to my trip report covering my 4 week holiday through Asia, Europe, and Iceland. This trip sees me visit new destinations, wide ranging climates, and hopefully a number of breathtaking vistas! My primary travel is in J, courtesy of a oneworld Classic Flight reward booking (280k...

Confirming the DSC for my flight on the 25 Feb has also posted. It appears the UTC registration bug is no longer an issue as I registered for the promotion prior to 11:00am AEDT.
