Airfares to US to drop?

[p--and--t]

Been reading some reports forward bookings on some sectors to/from US down 70%. Flight cancellations / frequency reductions inevitable.

Looking into a potential future booking, I see the good people at QF are asking for $15k for a return J flight to DFW over Xmas. Sure, peak season and all, but ridiculous pricing still. CX for half that price and a much better product albeit up via HKG.

For all you USA FF which airport do you think is best to go into from Oz when connecting on to Orlando? I figured best to avoid SFO and LAX given the long transcon necessary so somewhere like DFW would probably be the best stop point given inevitably will transition to local Y so less flight time is best.

LAX might be better as the early morning arrival may get you to your destination at a more reasonable time of day - given that the DFW flights don't get in until mid-afternoon-ish. If you can get LAX-DFW-Orlando flights then you will pick up a swag of SC's as well.

There’s no obligation to to tell them what you’re using.

I have seen many reports of them going through peoples phones and checking their social media

Sounds like fake news.

But if in doubt, carry a Nokia flip phone.

I’ll see if I can find the reference. Can you still get flip phones?

Don't sleep on flying into JFK. Lots of competitive fares into JFK from Australia & same distance to MCO as DFW (and way shorter than SFO/LAX).
