Not sure if this is the right area - trying to get some ideas as to the best way to go about booking Adelaide - Port Vila for April 2012.
Looking now, Virgin Australia on a single booking (ADL-BNE and BNE-VLI) is $460-470 each way.
Booking individually it's ~$200 for the ADL-BNE legs, and ~$330 for the BNE-VLI legs.
Qantas is around $500 each way (booked as the one trip). Air Vanuatu seems about the same.
We're both Velocity and QFF members, but lowest level and only because we got QFF for free with Woolworths rewards card, so obtaining points etc isn't a huge deal, neither is getting a specific aircraft (I've had my 777 and A380 fix already).
Thinking it might be worth booking the BNE-VLI legs now, and waiting for a cheaper ADL-BNE leg to come up in the next 12 months? Or should I hold off on both?
We're also considering a couple of day stopover in Brisbane, but haven't confirmed that with TheWife yet
EDIT: Although we've just signed up for an ANZ Platinum Visa, without any rewards package, if I can get my head around the fees, might upgrade it to the QFF one if it's going to be worth it... seeing as IIRC we have to book the flights on that CC to get the free insurance? (although I've heard that it's not that great and worth getting our own travel insurance).
