They used to do good ones on that route (have to go via narita). Failing that, do some net searches, see if anyone's doing good prices. -- ant Don't try to email me; I'm borrowing the spammer du jour's addy |

Dunno about timing but last year June/July I flew return SYD-YVR-SYD with China Airlines booked through STA and the fare was some AUD1,600 compared with AUD2,500 offered by Flight Centre. __________________________________________________ ____________ Keith Sayers, Canberra, Australia Mail : 6 Clambe Place, CHARNWOOD, ACT 2615 http://www.pcug.org.au/~kmsayers -------------------------------------------------------------- |

Flight centre is not cheap. I was rather pleased with the prices available on Travel.com.au recently, got cbr-syd-lax-US City-Lax-mel-cbr in December for just a shade over $2 grand. I priced Flight centre and hurriedly returned to travel.com.au! They were even cheaper than Qantas, although the prices on the Qantas site weren't bad. -- ant Don't try to email me; I'm borrowing the spammer du jour's addy |

Right now the USA is so fixated with security that the TSA Safety Stazi will go through your checked baggage and make a total mess of it - and then leave an official notice stating they they legally did that. No effort is made to keep any of your items in and semblance of order: cookies are crushed, bicycle tools are mixed up with books, etc... If you fly from Vancouver try to bypass the USA (even Hawaii). I understand that folks going through Japan, Hong Kong etc don't have to put up with such searches and STILL have safe travel.

There NO point in carefully packing, wedging, wrapping things. tehy seem to go to some trouble to jumble everything up. The damage done to stuff is amazing, it's like they and the baggage handlers are in league against the contents of your luggage. -- ant Don't try to email me; I'm borrowing the spammer du jour's addy |

[deleted] Fact - never wrap prezzies etc when travelling internationally. That has been the 'rule' for many, many years, most likely more than you have been on this planet. Please don't (try to) pass your silly notions as "Fact"s! There is no such "Fact" and no such "'rule'" for any noteable length of time. Quite the contrary, "most likely more than you have been on this planet" wrapping has been *neccessary* for obvious reasons. [deleted] |
