2026 travel plans

[ols]

Hmm. That's not too bad. Way more than I had at the start of my planning but looks like a good use of them.

Can't get Perth to Doha J rewards for two people it seems these days.
So flying to Doha via Singapore added a bunch of points

I was looking at saving points and flying that route if I could get a decently priced SYD-PER flight so as to have some time in PER but I also couldn't find 2 seats at the time I was looking. Plus getting cheap seats to PER is not easy at all.

Have just locked in some travel plans for 2026. Europe via Doha in March

Heading to London for a few things including hopefully the London Book Fair and a day trip to visit a magical shop in Matlock run by a YouTube personality I've watched for years.

Then to Cologne for a mini river cruise (only 4 nights) to test the waters (pun intended) on whether sensitive to seasickness me can cope with the much calmer river waters. I really want to be good for it, because I would love to do a longer river cruise one day. This mini cruise does a loop back to Cologne, but with stops in Rotterdam, Huizen and Emmerich.

Then we go up to Amsterdam for Flight Sim Weekend, meeting up with friends from past years at Flight Sim Expo. And then a few nights in Doha on the way home thanks to the stopover program.

We already have Mar-Apr 2026 trip booked to Thailand.

Now looking to book Sep-Oct 2026 trip but airfares are not that inviting. Tried looking at award flights on various carriers and award availability is poor close to 1 year out.

Have booked Jakarta for June and Singapore for August, have been looking for somewhere for March/April.

Has just dawned on me, (anxious) teen grandson is going to bunk in at our place for the year while he studies - not sure if his Mum will let us leave him "Home Alone"
Might not be going anywhere

In luck today with our trip to the Tattoo in August. I had booked awards BNE t0 BKK and DOH-EDI. But nothing came up on BKK-DOH. Looked at VA, AA, BA and in desperation QFF. Seats aero also so no awards in J.
But today a hit on my watch list. F awards via VA available. One day before my date but 1 less day in BKK and having to fill a day in Doha is no problem.

The problem though is the flight to EDI is 32 hours after arrival. So can I stay at the Oryx and use the Al safwa the moning of my arival All reports sugest that around midnight when our BKK flight arrives sleep rooms very unlikely to be available. Has any one else had a similiar circumstance

They are very strict on the same day rule so I suspect you won’t get Al Safwa access but you can only try
