Hey! Wondered if I could pick your brain since you seem to have a talent for travel?
I just got back from China and am already planning my next. Unfortunately, I don't think I can get away until December next year. Anyway, do you have any recommendations on how to get to Europe cheaply? I don't care if it takes me twice as long or has dodgy stopovers or anything, I just want to get there!
How cheap is cheap? You could probably get there for about a thousand dollars by keeping an eye on Flight Centre's site. I just found a thousand dollar via JAL Canberra London fare, leaving today.
Or there are round the world fares for about $2000. These might not go to all the places you want and have a lot of restrictions, but they WILL get you there.
Maybe you could string together a bunch of flights on odd carriers, using specials, and get the cost down even lower. Once you get into the Northern Hemisphere cutprice market, there are some amazing fares available, but be warned, Ryanair and others don't offer any frills, and travel between some pretty weird places.
