Next time you need a flight here in Australia try out www.bestflights.com.au. At the moment they are offering a round the world deal with Star Alliance via either Singapore, Hong Kong or Tokyo to Frankfurt or Munich. You then can choose 60 destinations in Europe then fly on to either LA, San Fran or Vancouver then home by Hawaii. All from $1599 Australian (about 960 euros) thru to $2229 at most (1340 euros). It's cheap. They emailed me the other day with a deal to Vietnam for just $505 return...303 euros. The other little website is webjet.com. Most times you can book Qantas domestic cheaper than with Qantas themselves. If you are here in Australia and need a flight check them out. All they ask is a fulfillment fee of 4%. Wish I had time off to take them up. Happy travelling, Kerrie --- Where to next?

Unfortunately I am from Canada and would be hard-pressed to fly down to OZ to pick up that flight! Would like to add: for flyer junkies, today's the only day (June 19) you can purchase a BA ticket ex-LHR to MEL for about US$400. With that, you could go on Kerrie's *A RTW itinerary. That would rack up some serious miles. --- Lover of just five things - travelling, photography, thick crust pizzas, the xy-chromosomes, the Italians and the Dutch. Well, I can't count, so?

Then you could continue on to some of those fantastic beaches everyone keeps listing on the forum.... --- Where to next?

I would like to hear from people who have used either or both before signing up myself. --- "I never was respectable." Benjamin Disraeli, former English Prime Minister "No, no!"

They are even doing free flights at the moment. If you book well in advance then you can get some really great deals!

I'm gathering plenty of ideas for my next vacation! I also did want to mention if you are planning any trips within the USA, maybe state-hopping? for low airfares travelling within the USA, try www.jetblue.com. I used to live in the states and at the time found most flights to be approx. $100 less then other airlines. Planes are nice-fairly spacious legroom & tv, suprisingly for short domestic flights.
