I am about to hit the BOOK button for my flights leaving on 30th December - what do you think?? shall i?? is it tempting fate just flight availability is going down

is it sellfish of me to go on christmas day? will it ruin uk familes christmas knowin we were going? or should i bite my tongue and go on 30th december and spend one last christmas with them here - even though it will be bloody difficult?

We took risk and booked flight. The scenario is you may have to book return though as immi might not let you in on a one way on a visitors visa if you dont get visa in time.
Check if flight is transferable and then at least if you book somthing you feel your almost there and IF visa dosnt come you can move flight.(if you get 1 way)
I predict visa for you next week daunted there lets hope my prediction works

O its tempting i know but id wait.
Its a lot of money to loose if the visa doesnt arrive in time.

I hope you are right Nessy. Singapore will let me book a transferable ticket oooooooooh im gonna go have a shower, calm down and THINK

nessyp

If singapore let you book a transferable ticket (idont think they charge to move date) GET IT BOOKED i reckon you will feel things are moving on and you can start looking in other directions like looking at houses to rent and buying furniture or stuff off ebay or cars ect.
Im only saying it because i booked my tickets a few weeks ago and now i have my visa so for me it worked

i would second that, we needed a date that we had to work everthing else around, im sure you willl have your visa before the end of the year, so i dont think that would be a problem

Ok and what do you think about the flying on christmas day thing? is it selffish of me and will it create all sorts of other problems like arriving in middle of christmas holidays??

nessyp

Thats upto you chick, but if you have kids (which i dont) maybe your family will want to spend one last xmas with them. If you can fly 30th dec that may be better and you can let your new life in oz through the door on new years eve at midnight.

maverik1979

better still, im sure i read somewhere that its much much cheaper to fly on new years eve, simply because no-one usually wants to

maverik1979

actually just checked, and its around £150-£200 per person to fly on new years eve

daunted

is that cheaper by £150 - £200???
