I am sure I have read about a member living in Spain and is moving to Oz soon. Hopefully they will see this thread and be able to help you. In the mean time I will have a look and see if I can find them :)

Forgot to say, why not do a post in the Aussie forum, there are loads on there that live in Perth. No doubt they will be able to help you.

I am just sooooooo jealous :(

good idea :thumbsup:

Re: Oz from Spain
 

ahh thanks, thats kind of you

our friends are moving there and have just got their visas, so we are planning to go out there for their first Christmas :cool:

Re: Oz from Spain
 

What an excellent idea, I think peoples first Christmas in a new place is an emotional time so if you are there it will alleviate their sadness and increase their pleasure.

I think that you would get more response if this was in the main Spain forum and it may be worth putting it in the Australian forum too because I am sure that you cannot be the only people in each of these countries to want to travel to and fro.

Went to NZ via Singapore and Oz to celebrate Millenium.
Had prevously made the trip booking through UK company.
That is fraught with danger, I.E. should your Spain to UK flight run into problems and you miss your conection :ohmy:.

Tried many travel agents in the Campo de Gibraltar area to no avail.

Finally rang Qantas in Madrid who gave a very good price ( about 250,000 pts )but insisted I book through an agent where I would get an even better price.
I explained that I had been trying to do this without sucess.
I was then told to try Cortes Ingles and should there be a problem ask them to speak to Qantas Madrid

Went to Cortes Ingles and was quoted 350,000pts.
Asked them to ring Qantas.

Result ticket cost 219,000 pts

Two tickets Malaga / Heathrow / Singapore / 3 day stopover / Wellington / month stop / Sydney / 4 days stop / Bankok / Heathrow / Malaga

WE could of course had other stopovers

Re: Oz from Spain
 

Sam, you are more than welcome to come and stay with us for a few days if you fancy a break before the move to Oz :D

Re: Oz from Spain
 

I go green with envy when peeps move to Oz, we should have done it 20 years ago when we got the forms through :(

Saying that I do love my life so I shouldnt grumble :D

Yeah we had the opportunity when the kids were little but didnt do it - regret it now though

Re: Oz from Spain
 

madrid - KL - Oz last minute.com - if your dates are flexible there are some fab offers. all connections went smoothly, though on the rtn leg, those getting on at KL were not impressed that most of the seats were took up by those who´d got on at Oz. Most thought they were the first stop!

Have a brill time.
