Thank you for your review. We will be taking this cruise next year, same timeframe and find insight from others to be invaluable. Are you willing to share your excursion experience?

Hello jollyjones, What a small world! Thanks for the 9 month out booking tip. Here’s hoping we both manage to book great flights at phenomenal prices.🙂

Thanks Zach1213, that is actually very helpful.

You all are good, it is Bermuda.🙂 Early research on British Airways flights showed something like a 15 hr layover in the UK. That is a real deterrent. I have briefly considered Air Canada and American. United does not presently offer flights in November. I was hoping to explore the experience of a long haul on a Qantas, Singapore Air or even Emirates although current indications are that Qantas may be the best option price wise. I am aware that everything is subject to change and routes, prices, etc. may be vastly different by November 2024. What can I say? Planners plan and everyone who has responded has helped with the planning process. Thank you so much.

Wow, thank you all for responding. I certainly have lots to consider. I probably should have mentioned earlier that my start and end point is an Island in the Atlantic, meaning any choice I make will include a 21\2 to 3 hour flight to JFK then a layover before heading to Syd.

GeezerCouple, thank you for your insights. Thus far our longest flight has probably been about 6 hours. We have noticed the very long layovers between flights with other options and considered that biting the bullet on a single flight (if the price is palatable) might be the lesser evil. Our cruise isn’t until November 2024 so we still have time to ponder and plan. It all seems so adventurous,

Globaliser and Zach1213 thank you so much for your swift replies. I believe that I too would prefer to “get it done” without the long layovers. If I can score at least Premium Economy at a good price I will be a happy camper.

Hello everyone, We will be cruising Sydney to New Zealand next year and are researching flight choices from the US east coast. Is the direct Qantas flight from JFK a wise option? Most people seem to fly with connections through Los Angeles or Dallas. I was thinking one flight without long layovers might be a good option. Can anyone who has travelled this route share thoughts?
