As you may know I have been scheming for a TDL trip -and have been hanging for QF flights at the right price - 
Well today was the day
.
I had an email from Qantas this morning so I checked the prices SYD-NRT in April - $999 rt. - I suddenly became ill - this is what I was waiting for, but is it really what I wanted
-
I asked DH, he is keen to go but thinks its too far out of the comfort zone for the children, (terribly fussy eaters) which on one hand I want to push them out of their comfort zone but not at the expense of ruining my holiday by having 3 whiny teenagers along for the ride.
So I sat on it all day - but I said to him if we dont do it now we will always regret it and I would resent all of them - so its done, booked, paid for!
QF April 10 2013
return
April 25
I used points + pay so the total came down to $4232 for the five of us, which in my mind compares favourably to the super cheap jetstar $199 sale a couple of weeks ago, which was going to cost $3700 for the family - no meals, no bags, no points and a 3hour stopover in Cairns and a really inconvenient departure time.
I was annoyed about the $30 pp credit card fee, I could have used BPAy, but after the air australia debacle, I like the security of paying with CC.
On a positive note, I went straight in to select seats as after deliberating over it last time I knew there was no choice but to pay for them. So I was expecting another $200 fee, but went through the whole process without it asking for cc details, so fingers crossed there was no charge.
So yay, another trip to plan!! But gosh I feel
