I just tried pricing a SYD MUC rtn for Dec 30 to Jan 31, and bad news. It came back at well over $18,000 including lounge access & 'free' seat selection. Without either then price would have been just over $17k.

Worth looking but sad result.

I always (try to) follow the principle never cough/u/me. Often works in my favour. I'm also an optimist.

Have you heard of O'Toole's Law?

Didn’t proceed to the booking pages but the $3500 seems to have gone up… entry fares now $4800.

ITA Matrix is showing the cheapest combo for April is A$4250 (into MUC and out of MXP). Which is up from mid A$3ks earlier but still cheap by Oz standards.

Similar prices / combos in May and first half of June by the looks and then back to mid A$8k late June onwards.

OK, I think I'll pass on these flights.
Not because I'm worried about getting hit ( I lived in Belfast for 10 years in the early 80's !!)
but because I'm worried about getting stranded on either leg. Too many disruptions in the Gulf.
The clever gamble would be booking flights towards the end of May, in the hope that it will be all over?? I can't go then due to commitments at home.
