at the end of the day i went with Trailfinders purely because i've heard much better things about them.
How did you find USIT and what was the final cost of that trip?
Seems a good bit cheaper than mine then again mine is very much tailormade.
€2,200 all in for mine

I've been heading over that way for a few years but this years plan Is Laos for the first week then around to Chang Mai to hopefully catch a punk gig or two then down south to Koh Phi Phi and across to Koh Samui(Lamai)/Koh Phangan(Haad yao) to just chill out and spend time with some Thai friends.

Thats a rough idea but could change slightly due to circumstances while over there.

Whats yours?

did trailfinders ever do "pre-packaged" routes for travelling the world like usit or do they just do tailor made type bookings?

you can buy this anywhere , any travel agent, its an airline thing

you can get a oneworld or a star alliance one. half the airlines in the world are in the star alliance network , the other half are in the oneworld one.

don't mind those trailfinders, they are the dunnes of travel agents, and treat you as well and have as much charisma as say a specsavers optician

has anyone ever bothered to just get individual flights from one place to the next? how did it work out and compare to the travel-plan options? i was having a scoot around there and you can fly to dubai for €220 with aer lingus and from muscat in oman (i'd like to go there - you can get the bus from dubai) to bangalore for €140ish. that sounds cheap to me, i dunno, im only having a quick look

are there cheap flights to/from new zealand from anywhere?

 

[RSJ]

I just got a ticket to the US (€300) and a ticket from there to thailand (€400). Doing the rest by land. I dunno about cheaper but i imagine it's more flexible.

no, you might see them cheap now but i paid 250 for just an hour's flight from cambodia to thailand as i booked it there, better off gettin a multistop cos you can ring up and change the dates as many times as you like if you like a place or run out of time. if you missed one of those flights youd be stuck

anyway, when are you thinkin of goin?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

after christmas sometime maybe. i have a one year visa to new zealand but i dunno where to go on the way.

are you going on hols again?

as much as I'd love to get the fuck out of Dublin for a while, I'm tied down.

Didnt you start a new job though recently?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

oh, when you said you booked it there i thought you meant "i booked it just there now".

yeah, i did start a new job, i quite like it. i havent defo made up my mind to go but i was going to go away a few years ago and i put it off for work reasons which turned out to be shite and now im fed up here again. there'll always be some excuse not to go
