Hi.
I'm trying to suss out a smart way to get my parents to Sao Paulo in March next year, from Perth. Obviously there's the straight forward 'direct' way, but I thought why not see if I can optimise the value for money.
They are going to SIN at the end of the year and I've already got them onto the SIN-PER-SIN gig so they still need a flight back to PER around Jan the 4th. This got me thinking about what I need:
1. They should go to South American (long segments at least) in business class- though they enjoy flights on tiger so they aren't the complaining type.
2. There's a 10% discount on Oneworld products.
3. Dad has QC life but no other status with any airline.
4. SIN-PER is going to either be another QF return flight in Y or part of the next trip.
My questions are: 1. Whether a Circle Pacific fare might be the perfect solution and if so what sort of routings would people look at?
2. Is there a cheaper way of getting to Sao Paulo from Perth with overwater segments in J
3. Would it be smarter getting a Y SIN-PER-SIN then to GRU from there?
4. Am I barking up the wrong tree or is there an even better alternative I haven't looked at yet, like departing somewhere else in Asia as it's simple to get anywhere from SIN.
Thanks guys!
