I need to book some business class flights form Sydney to Lisbon or Oporto in late August 2025. I need to be in Oporto by 29 August.
Return flights will most likely be from Rome to Sydney. But that will probably be around the 1st week in October. These dates don't seem to be available yet.
Last year we booked reward flights starting from Singapore ( not enough points for reward flights next year). So will need to pay. We purchased economy flights to Singapore and stayed one night either side of the reward flights to ensure no delays. So not sure this is worth it or to keep a look out for sale business flights to and from Sydney.
I don't want to use Chinese carriers as the language barrier on the flight almost caused an anaphylatic episode. So I am gun shy.
I have always booked my own flights, but am wondering if a TA is worthwhile investigating. Some airlines have advertised business sales but most finish before our return flights. Can I set up alerts on websites?
