2026 travel plans

[Warks]

I mentioned before we had booked SYD-Doha and then on to Stockholm (August). Now booked the next phase from Stockholm to Lisbon then Porto to Madeira (Funchal) and Funchal to Prague via Lisbon. All these flights are on TAP Portugal. There were cheaper airlines flying to Madeira but they were all the ones Mrs Warks has forbidden me from booking (EasyJet, Ryan etc, Smartwings etc)
Just looking at accommodation on Madeira. I'd like to stay away from Funchal as we are in cities for most of the trip and Madeira offers a chance to stay out in a house in a more natural area, particularly in the north. Can get some pretty nice places for $200 per night or less.

I was always planning to go to Europe in Sep/Oct (unfortunately during the school holidays here), so I persevered with my vague plans despite the noise.

I've now booked Scoot+ SYD-BKK, and then a QF reward in J flying WY to LHR (plenty of availability). I'll be visiting my sister while in the UK

I haven't booked it yet, but I'm planning to then fly BA LHR-ZAG and Croatian (OU) ZAG-Split (SPU). I'll have several days there in a nice AirBnB, and then fly to Napoli (NAP) and spend a few days in the shadow of Mt Vesuvius.

Then I'll need to get back to Oz, but not sure quite how. I'm thinking J or PE from Italy to BKK (nothing startling available atm) and then CX to SYD in PE (which I've already booked).

Should be interesting.

New joiner, long time reader! I've got a few places on my 2026 bucket list with LSL coming available soon. Top of the list would have to be Taipei and Vancouver!
