We flew QANTAS to DFW. AA to MCO then back via Honolulu. Leaving Jan 4th. We booked it on multi-city booking through QANTAS website. Cost was $4720. All flights were on time and the schedule was just right
That's for each of us. Five adults.
OMG - that Hawaii stopover really bumps up the fares - we paid $1250 rtn Qantas via DFW for each adult in September.
Granted, these were the introductory fares when they announced the DFW route - but.... $4720
Yikes, are you serious? That is lots of dollars. God I'm starting to feel sick about what our flights are going to cost.
The airfares are coming down
Just checked Qantas and for the same days, they are cheaper than VAustralia
Looking at dates, end of November (30th) with return mid/late December is coming up at $1299 return. So one way is $679 ret is $621
Virgin is $1397 ($631 over and $766 ret)
AIRNZ - still over $2000 ret
When I try to put in my multi stop trip Best Flights just groans and says "can't help ya luv" .
I might have to try adding less legs in and buying one flights separately? Does that often end up alot dearer to do it that way?
We are flying out 9 December for that reason Colin
Colin, I've been trying to enter them into BestFlights just to see what airlines were offering what prices. We have quite a few stops.
I've been roughly working on:-
9 Dec Syd - Orlando
20 Dec Orlando - NYC
29 Dec (train) NYC - Boston
2 Jan Boston - Quebec
7 Jan Quebec - Buffalo
9 Jan Buffalo - Washington DC
13 Jan Washington DC - Sydney
Whew, that's a mouthful

Thanks for having a play Colin. I was coming up with similar figures as you mention. I'd really love the flights to not have a 2 at the front but I think it won't happen.
I think you may be right, booking the internals separately might be our best option although I'm thinking that could be a busy time of year for internal flights so who knows what it will cost. Bugger lol.
Bummer you can't leave until the 14th. My daughter finishes school on the 7th and my son finishes on the 12th so it worked out fairly good for us.
