It was very much a challenge. We ended up booking the flights in 2 lots to make sure we got close to the flights we wanted. By using "classic" method, the seats disappear quickly for the direct flights. So we booked the flight over straight away when they became available, and then the flights back when they became available. Only downside here was the need to pay US fees and taxes in USD. It is getting harder to book FF flights than it was years ago.Anthony, how'd you find booking the seats through FF? It's what we'll be doing for our trip in a few years.
I have learnt through working with the TA that there are 2 parts to Riverside. We wanted the Mansions section anyway, but I was informed that the Bayou section is where they put families of 5. I'm looking forward to staying there, we loved French Quarter, so wanted to give this a whirl.You'll also have to let me know what you think of Riverside, and how cramped you think it will be for a family of five if we decide to go that (cheaper!) route.
Orlando-Houston-LA would be bearable, but the milk run between LA and Syd, I'm with you, would not be that desperate.We have friends coming for a two week period to stay with us this year, their return flight on award points goes Orlando, Houston, LA, Nandi, Suva, Auckland and then Sydney. Do night think I would be that desperate!
