Afternoon all,
So I am pondering my flights at the moment and I just thought I would run a question by all you lovely people. How much extra (if any) would you pay for the conveniece of direct LA return flights?
The price between direct and via Melb or Bris is usually not that much but around the dates I am looking at they are more than I expected. The flight I am looking at has a stopover in Melb (I am in Syd) on the way home. The price difference with that flight (which leaves LA a day earlier than I had planned to leave) and a direct flight is at total of $500.
Now I am thinking that for a saving of $500 I could do a stopover in Melbourne (never been there anyway ) but my only concern is that the flights home are always more exhausting than the flight there. Or it could be that the flight there is so full of anticipation and excitement that we don't notice the exhaustion
So what I really want to know is how valuable ($$$$$ wise) is a direct flight to you? Can you well seasoned travellers put a $ value on it?
