saw on gumtree of all places BNE, SYD, MEL or PER to EU in June/July school holidays for $1177 return.
Enquired & could get BNE/BKK/BRU or MXP 21 June, back 2-3 weeks later, still in school holidays for the quoted $1177 return.
Good connections on way over, but 18 hours on way back. Apparently if you leave the airport, you have to pay 800 baht, about AUD$35 departure tax to get the last flight home. The connections were much better to SYD, MEL, but if you fly back to BNE via SYD or MEL or PER, it's a higher fare, ie. they won't absorb the OZ domestic leg.
Yep, been looking at it that for awhile as an option and also hoping that a WY sale from CGK bobs up as an option also.QR has Mnl > Lhr return on J at USD1991.00 at the moment. Barcelona is USD1826
