I've never seen it this cheap...JFK-LAX-SYD-LAX-JFK = $289 each way plus tax, which works out to around $700 (some flights on some days seem to be a few dollars more).
Travel dates: Aug. 11 - Sept. 15; Nov. 9-30
Book by June 16.

Oh the temptation...... Problem is if your going to do Oz you need to do it right and spend a good amount of time there. I'm pushing to go there for 2010 if things work the way I hope they do.
They're also offering a $999 package which includes 7 nights in a 4-star Sydney hotel and air from LAX or SFO...probably a little higher from NY.

I've found places that I want to spend more time and more places to explore.
It's like trying to cover a country the size of the USA in a short time. Travelers to the US know that multiple trips are needed to capture the essence of such a large place.
Conversely, I know Glenn is headed our way soon again b/c the US is just vast.
I'd jump at it now but would rather the kids were a bit older. My plan is to keep going back at least every 7 years.
I'd implore that anyone who's got a 9 days to blow and wants to hit Australia, (so you have a full week) then do it b/c that is a phenomenal price. 7 days in Sydney, you can cover Bondi Beach, the Blue Mountains, the city, vineyards, Bridgeclimb, a scenic flight, the list goes on.
WOW. That is a better price than SXM in the winter!!! :borat: :borat: :borat:
