I go with my 11 year old daughter, and we allways go 1 week before school holidays and 1 week after, so she only misses those 2 weeks when not much happens at school,and we get to get away for a month. The specials are good for me, they usually stop the specials about a week before the school hols, but i allways miss out taking too long to check dates etc, this time i was prepared.There are still heaps of seats left to Bangkok Ive noticed, so I guess the influx of the other cheap asian airways who have had their specials allready means we are going to get cheap flights and sales from now on to Thailand, Bali ,Singapore and Kuala Lumpar and on to most other asian destinations. I usually fly Thai or Singapore, havent flown Jetstar, Tiger or Air Asia internationally yet but have flown with some of the worst airlines in the world before,not to mention 24 hour train trips sqaushed and not being able to leave my seat for fear of losing it.
For me this means being able to afford to have 2 trips or more a year instead of the 1.
I can suffer, if I have to, for 9 hours or more with that as a prize.
Bring it on, I say...
