Fares Sydney-Ushuaia December 27 2013

[ausfox]

I am trying to find a fare to Ushuaia as I am taking 2 members to sail in Antactica just after Xmas which of course is trgically expensive.
The hopeful departure date is 27 December 2013. Would a simple ATW be cheaper? I would like One World if possible. Thanks folks.

QF or LAN from SYD-SCL, then LAN SCL-xAEP-USH.

The best fare I have seen for this is around $4000 unless you want a 50 hour trip via the Middle East

I'd be looking at USDM for this, may be able to get business class for approx $3000, sale on at the moment.

Sorry travelislife but as a new poster I don't know USDM. Thanks for your input

Ok, I have had a bit of a look for you and at that time of peak travel I don't think it will work out unfortunately, but if you are interested you can have a look at the following thread. Is generally nice and easy for trips to Europe but South America is a bit harder.

Thanks for your suggestions but as I was not seeing limited availability for QF I succumbed and booked via a TA. Going to Milwaukee in July and then Paris in September and was able to book them independently. Cheers

Tell me about the sailing bit of your trip. Always wanted to do this, curious about how you've arranged/booked/paid for it.

Try this link. She sails from Ushuaia on 29 Dec 13. We think it wil be a great experience what with the ship and the location.
I thought I posted another reply but it failed so another attempt.
