My holiday dilemmas continue.
I went online to have a look at how I was going to get home from this holiday.
It was awful.
I've got my flights over to England. 55000 frequent flyer points and $250. Bargain. That I'm going through the United States - okay, not thrilled about this, but I'm okay with making sure all of my ducks are in a row, deleting social media off my phone and being contrite through customs.
But getting back!
The average cost of a ticket back from Europe? $2000. One way.
Yep, $2000.
Which, for the last couple of decades has been the average price of a return ticket to Europe.
If you look around the internet, you can find ones for around $1700. There is the Air India flight which comes in at $1000, which takes you through Delhi. Umm, sorry, but no.
It looks like I've had my decision made for me. I'll be cutting the trip a few days short and staying in Paris. I can go out to Versailles and Giverny. I can roam the streets for a few days. And I'll be coming home for the weekend.
Bloody airlines.
