SYD-ROM & AMM-SYD....Tips/Suggestions?

[SBOB]

*Destination should be FCO*
*SYD-FCO & AMM-SYD*

First time poster, few time reader
Hoping some people with much more international travel experience than myself (0) may be able to offer some helpful tips...

Anyway... in November I'm planning a trip to Italy and Egypt/Jordan (wierd combo i know)..

Anyway, the flights im hoping to achieve are
Sydney-Rome
and then
Amman-Sydney

due to how the trip is panning out...
Emirates appears to be the best choice for a 'single carrier' solution and seems to be the cheapest regardless...

Currently Emirates have this for around the $1900 mark...
Couple of questions for the experts..

1) Does this seem like a 'regular' price or would it be discounted due to their sale which ends on the 20th April
2) Buy now or wait?
and
3) Any alternatives I might have overlooked for these flights? (leaving from Amman seems to reduce the choices significantly)

Thanks for any assistance

Without looking too much into combo's, just a little bit of housekeeping, Rome is FCO and not ROM (I think ROM stands for Rome Airports as there is also Ciampino -CIA).

OW you have a couple of options BA and CX fly to FCO, CX would avoid a transfer at LHR.

I am sure RJ would do alot of flying from AMM to BKK and on to HKG where you can connect.

May be a case of using a TA for trying to use OW partners

Thanks for the tip...
going to see Travel Agent tommorow... just didnt want to miss a decent fare if its due to the sale ending on the 20th

If you are not worried about any FF Points or Status than I do not see any harm with going the EK way.

Your TA should be able to help you find fares for the destination you are looking for (Sorry I can't help more I don't have Expert Flyer et al...)
