  For this price I can go anytime ! Anyone know if there is a way to find the cheapest available fare in a month? I’ve only been able to find it in economy.
  Thanks

  I think it’s gone now ? – Prices on many dates that were available now showing quite a bit higher .. Google flights suggests OTAs may still have the fare, but may not really be bookable .. Great deal while it lasted

  I see there is a flight that stops in Tokyo for 9 hours. Would we be allowed to do a quick tour of the city during this time?

    I don’t see why not, if Japan is open for tourism as normal by then. But I’m not expecting it to be open as normal for a long time to come!

      I think Japan will reopen before 2023, though!

      They’ve just passed the peak of daily infections, give it a few months. ANA is returning to daily flights to London next month.

  And if the British government still think APT is a green tax, add a return to Dublin and think again.

  Looks like most options gone now. I see this article was released last night, but I only got the email this morning – is there a way to get an immediate notification?

    +1. I enjoy the 3 morning emails but personally would be happy to occasionally receive an additional email for ‘hot’ topics like this (provided I don’t get the same email as part of the automated following morning’s batch)

      You need to pop over to the site during the day!

      We only send emails later in the day when we have deferred one from the morning due to an embargo.

    Follow headforpoints on Twitter & set to have notifications. I’ve followed HFP for years and 95% of the notifications I dismiss, but every so often an offer comes in like this or the Japan fares from a few years ago ☺️

  Managed to get return business flights to Sydney for GBP 1,500 per person. Thanks HfP!

  The lowest lowest fares had already gone but still a v good price, I think. We’ll fly a combo of Lufthansa, Singapore and Quantas so great to experience them all. Downside is the number of changes of course, and having to get to Dublin, but for these prices we felt it was a good deal – and getting to Oz is a marathon however you do it really.

  The other bit that was a bit unclear was this basic plus fare. We opted for that for an extra EUR 100 ish to enable us to cancel minus EUR 250. However, it’s not clear if that’s 4 or 2 x EUR 250 (e.g. per leg or per person booking)… Any wisdom on this welcome.

    It’s per person per flight 👀 we opted to chance it instead on that basis

  Apart from school holiday dates obviously being blacked out and the minor inconvenience of getting to Dublin (and overnighting?) my main concern would be about the twitchiness of Australia and Covid lockdowns.
  This is a country that has a panic attack when a handful of cases show up.
  Given what Rob said about fare differences in the event of a date change, I’d be worried about the fare suddenly shooting up by 250%

  Otherwise fantastic deal if everything goes according to plan with no hiccups.

  • Rob says:

    If there are lockdowns, however, there is a good chance that one of your six flights would be cancelled or see a major time change, allowing you a full cash refund.

    No need to worry. Lockdowns in every eastern state are over – and given the Covid cat is well and truly out of the bag and rates of vaccination are much higher than most countries, the UK included – will remain that way. Western Australia is a different story but even they are likely to have opened up by the middle of the year.
