Thanks for the advice! We're still trying to plan the air routes!

Sounds lame but bought a world map (laminated)

Some whiteboard markers....

a lot of beer

a few airline brochures

and drew lines over it with the air-routes, and stopver points and did the ' how about here..........gah no'..................okay these fly here...........' are u mad?? '..........................i need a beer (several later)...................' where are you pointing to now?.,..........thats the middle of the pacific.............!!!!'

Map now looks like bizarre art project, woke up next morning to find dog footprints through china in red marker and sharks fins drawn in the ocean............so much for a serious attempt at holiday planning!

EVA AIR wise! we had a complaint with them a while back and as we've flown premium laurel twice ina year have racked up a few points so theyve offered us a discount if we fly with them again.....maybe worth it!!!!!

Went passed Thomson holiday shop yesterday and the shazza and kev brigade were outside chanting ' we're all off to pooooooooket yayyyy' say no more!
