Winter Wanderer March 2012
1 May 2011 Leana asked
Hi everyone!
Just seeing if there's anyone out there planning on going over early next year? I'm looking at booking the Winter Wanderer trip for 17 March. I'll probably do a couple of days in London before and after the trip.

Hi, my sister and I have already paid for this trip. We are hoping to fly in on the Monday and spend some time in London before hand. Then after going to Edinburgh, Ireland and Disneyland Paris, so exciting!! But we’ve got ages to wait.
Where are you from? and what are your plans?
Emma :)

I’m from Melbourne and going solo. My plans are to fly in on Tuesday, do the London Explorer before the Winter Wanderer, stay a couple of nights after in London and then do a stop over for a couple of nights in Dubai on the way home.
The time will fly by so quickly!!
Have you started looking at flights yet?

Nope, as we plan on being in Europe for just under 2 months, returning home in early May, so our return flights aren’t out yet, although we are going to start looking early next month, when our dates are out. We are going to fly Emirates though, I know that. What about yourself? Have you been to europe before?

I’ve heard www.bestflights.com.au is good too, if you want to book online. I’ll start looking next month. Did you end up putting down your deposit today?

I’m going through a travel agent to organise everything, I thought just easier.

Hi Explorer. Where are you flying from? I didn’t know Contiki could book your flights. We just booked ours. Went with Singapore Airlines from Auckland, NZ to London for 2500 return each.

that’s total!
it seems too cheap but when i called them they said that they have affiliations with certain airlines and receive cheaper deals. I hope it doesnt increase by the time we go to book.- 0 people like this

That seems way too good to be true!!! Works out to about half the publish fare! Hopefully you get those prices :)
