Thanks all, We've decided to fly via SIN and have a few days there on the way to HND. Using the ITA Software I got a really good price of $4500 for the 4 of us leaving BNE 1 Jan - SIN; Leaving SIN on the 5 Jan - HND leaving HND on the 20 Jan returning to BNE via SIN. When I took the print out...

Thanks Eastwest, just seen we could also fly via Singapore with a free stopover. Might have to look into that. Thanks again to everyone for all the help and advice. Much appreciated

We went to Mammoth in Jan this year. The kids haven't snowboarded before so I bought all their gear online in the States during the Black Friday & cyber Monday sales. Shipping in the U.S. was free so had it shipped to friends who we met up with when over there. We did buy gloves from Aldi for...

Thanks Ausbt, Great points there, will definitely look into that! So much to do wish we could go for longer, but the main reason is the snow! $1k's not bad, best I've gotten is just under $4k on JAL via HGK but that's 22 hrs all up. Don't mind flying from the Gold Coast but have to figure...

Thanks Ozbeachbabe, No problem flying JQ from OOL but by the time I've added on luggage it's not much cheaper than flying from BNE. The voucher is for $500 so not a deal breaker but would prefer to use it, might look into buy the Disney tickets from them?

Hi Ausbt, Thanks for the response. We're heading over to Hakuba, almost as excited as the kids to ride the Shinkansen! We don't have to transit straight through to the resort on the day of arrival, would prefer to break up the trip a bit maybe a few days in Tokyo before and after the snow...

Air Fiji are $1040 return from SYD but you have to fly via Nadi. We did it in Jan this year besides the stopover in Nadi (no aircon in the terminal) the flight was great. www.fijiairways.com/bookings/fares-and-special-offers/usa-from-sydney/ Sorry can't post links yet.

Hi All, Not sure where to post this so thought I'll start here... Am looking at taking the family to Japan in Jan 2016 (BNE-TYO) for some snow as well as sightseeing. So far we have our snow accommodation booked from 9 - 16 Jan, next step is to book flights. We're looking at about a 2 week...

Hi Rapid, Welcome to AFF, we did that trip in First with our daughter. As we flew and the date changed so she turned 1! Having lived in London for longer than we had planned we did our fair share of flying and to this day, that still remains one of our best flights. Our daughter slept most of...

Hi All, Just after some advice pls. We're off to Japan in Jan for 2 weeks. So far we only have some accommodation booked for a weeks skiing (9-16 Jan) we're flexible with travel dates around those times. In the past I've seen JetStar have sale specials where you can fly from the Gold Coast to...

Besides those mentioned, Word Lens. To use in countries where English isn't the native language. Fire up the app, point your camera at the word and it'll translate for you. You do have to purchase additional dictionaries, but they do give them away free from time to time which is when I loaded up!

HAHA thanks burmans, hoping so! Just got frustrated after a recent trip to the US where we took the kids to Disneyland and a few oother places. It involved some internal flights in the US along the way and I couldn't find anywhere to use my points on the whole trip, so ended up buying the kids a...

Thanks All, still making my through the the discussion boards. So much information...

Came across this great site while researching FF programs. Stuck in the middle at the moment and not sure which one to invest in.. We just used up all our QFF miles in the online mall... So hi all and look forward to learning more and hopefully contributing to this community. Cheers Troy
