It is madness. I was scouting around for some fares recently. Stumbled on a flight from CGK to LAX via Sydney (CGK to SYD in QF J and SYD to LAX in United J) for $4k. The flight from SYD to LAX booked alone was $11k on United. I was tempted to find a cheap on way in Y to CGK and then just not...

Melso. Can I ask where you spotted the mixed class fare? When all things work out it might not be too far off what you would have to pay to get to CGK. If anyone has booked this how did you find the TK website? Easy enough to take a stopover option?

According to Geoffrey Thomas (sigh) QF is very popular and a great airline. I, myself, would look to fly someone else especially at the prices they are currently trying to shake out. Why not consider going via Asia?

Interesting observations. I always expected Late Dec and Jan to be high season and I am usually prepared to pay an additional premium. But at the moment - that premium is ridiculous. Picking up on a helpful post in another thread (which Mattg kindly contributed to), I was looking at picking up...

I enjoyed Air Tahiti Nui. Took them from Syd to NYC via Tahiti. A nice stop over half way across the pacific to stretch the legs a little bit. This flight was a while ago. From memory it was on an A340.

PS. It does seem hard to try to take advantage of the 12 month stay option. And trying to get to BKK in late Dec and Jan it seems even Y fares are ridiculous hehe.

Thanks Matt. Will check out Google Flights. Was having trouble seeing anything but I can now see the option you posted above although I think to 12 Jan option you posted has gone. No set final destination really. Always happy to take advantage with SQ to Europe where possible especially if...

Matt. Thanks so much for your reply. Are you seeing that through google flights or ITA? Can you see anything in early/mid Jan? Interesting you mention Paris. Would likely be an easier transit option as well.

Can anyone see any availability left with these airfares? Ideally in mid or early Jan or as late as possible in March? I was thinking, as OP suggested, trying to leverage this fare with a return fare back from Europe given the 12 month return date option but struggling to see anything.

I flew this route from BCN-MXP-SIN in 2017 and I did not have to get off at MXP. Told to remain on board.

I am a fan of this hotel. It has been my hotel of choice when in Melbourne. The location is obviously fantastic. I have, however, noticed in the last couple of stays that the quality has declined and the rooms are in serious need of an upgrade and I have started to question whether it is a...

Thanks Syd for posting. It's so annoying the whole Oz tax when you see flights like this.

Thanks Syd. Is that link showing the price in US dollars? I am seeing $3.5k in mid Jan on Google flights. Getting up to Jakarta is about $1.5k on QF in Y.

Amsterdam airport. Made the mistake of leaving my belt on. Received the most thorough frisk search from security. Full marks for the thoroughness but he came close to copping a feel of the nether regions which started to make me less appreciative of the thoroughness.

Seems about standard. Think about taking a cheaper flight out of Oz perhaps. It's the Oz tax but $3k is standard in J on that route with SQ (arguably it's cheap).

Flew Asiana on that route a few years ago. Staff were excellent with kids. Of course they don't look after them but they were helpful when needed and helped ease the inevitable anxiety that comes from travelling such a long trip. Broke up the outbound with a overnight in Seoul. Similar...

Understand Emirates have cancelled out as well.

Yeah struggling to find it available on the QF website. Doubt I would get through on the phone at the moment either...

Thanks so much all. Much appreciated assistance.

Ok will try to find it. Thanks so much. Is it going from Syd or Melbs?
