  Would you consider a flight to Stockholm?

  SYD 16:00
  Sydney
  23h 00m
  1 STOP
  07:00 +1 ARN
  Stockholm
  Thai Airways
  Thai Airways
  ARN 14:30
  Stockholm
  32h 50m

  1,264 AUD

  and then a train or bus for three hours at 30 - 60 dollars each way? $400 saving vs convenience ..

  that was just a quick check on momondo worth checking skypicker as well if you havent..

  May I ask the town your trying to get to? I have Lived and traveled Sweden a lot might be able to provide a better option..

  Rome2rio gives you several options to get to Gothenburg: http://www.rome2rio.com/s/Sydney/Gothenburg
  If you try your exact town, it may suggest several ways to get there and you can then gauge which one suits you best. :)

  The cheapest way would probably be getting a return flight to Bangkok with AirAsia/Scoot/Jetstar for $400-500 and then catching a Norwegian flight from BKK to CPH for €490($715) plus baggage.

  It is a bit of mucking around for the savings so I wouldn't really bother unless you wanted to have a stopover in Bangkok on the way.

  There's a cheap flight on STA Travel for $1236 Aug 26 - Oct 11th flying Thai Air but you'll need to get sign up to TAFE to get your student card before then ;) I've honestly never been asked for a student card though so if you're willing to take a risk you can go for it! Or sign up for a course, get your card and promptly drop out before you have to pay.

  If you change your dates slightly you can get it a little cheaper, for instance flying Singapore Aug 26 - Oct 11 is $1,540 via Bestjet.

  If they've recommended those cities I am guessing they are on the east coast of Sweden and although the trains are fast it's expensive from Stockholm(Arlanda) airport. The train leaves directly from CPH airport to Sweden, so it's easy to get to anywhere on the rail line and meet them at the station. Last time I went to Halmstad the train from Copenhagen airport to Halmstad was cheaper than from Stockholm airport to Stockholm city… Go figure.

  If you want to write a little more what you're after.. eg. how flexible your dates are, if you want to fly certain airlines, have a stopover etc. I'm happy to have more of a look for you.

    Thank you so much
    Now I have some ideas I will search again
    My Daughter lives in Lekeryd a little town near
    Jonkoping in the middle of Sweden
    I just want a cheap flight. I can sleep anywhere (except on planes)
    I can do trains and buses
    I am flexable with dates. She is due 18/9 so just thought I would allow 3 weeks either side
    Again thank you
    I will post when I book

      Honestly, I'd just buy the ticket on STA. They never check student details and you can get a flight Aug 29th returning October 10th for $1153 if you use the code STUDENT and it only has a 3 and 2 hour stopovers each way. You won't find better than that and they won't even know to check if you're a student….

      If you didn't want to do that the next best option I found is to book separate tickets. One with Scoot on August 28yth to Singapore, it's currently $249 but wait until the next special to get it cheaper and the other through Hello World/Expedia/Kayak for $1091. You should be able to get it for a total of around $1300 and the stopover between tickets in Singapore is 5 hours which should be plenty of time.

    Thanks
    Went into STA and they told me I had to be a full time student when I booked and when I flew
    I think I would worry too much if I tried to buy it so will do the other option
    Thanks for your help
    I really appreciate

      I'm guessing this was to me. It's not ideal but still, $1300 will be a decent price return during those months and flight back is a good connection. Unfortunately there isn't any flights from any Asian hubs straight to Gothenburg but it's only 3 hours train ride from CPH airport to Nässjö for $50, and then hopefully someone can drive the the 25km and pick you up from there.

      Scoot has specials every Tuesday so just sign up for the newsletter and have a look the next few weeks…

      Oh and grattis mormor/farfar!

  Yer I would Agree With Zappy32 I think those are your best Options..

  Gothenburg is definitely a lot closer then CPH but hey $$ are what count… you can get flights from CPH to Linkoping pretty cheap then jonkoping is only an hour maybe 2 away but the train will most likely be the most cost effective and easiest…

  I lived in Linkoping for a semester.. been to jonkoping a few times .. Sweden is an awesome place

  ha det bra!!

  Hello ,
  Just an update on my travel.
  I have booked and I could be asked to leave ozbargain.
  I am flying Singapore Airlines .
  I found the flight on BestJet and Flight Centre matched it.
  The reason for using flight centre is I had about $150 CC points and my daughter had $800.
  I will be giving my daughter the money so that is good for her as there isn't often much value in CCpoints
  The flight is quick and stops in Singapore for only 2/3 hours each way.
  I will be elagible for the $40 dutyfree shop each way in Singapore
  I paid $1563 so that is a couple of 100 cheaper than I was going to pay originally.
  Thanks you everybody who tried to steer me in the right direction.
  I really apppreciate your help.
  Now to book Christmas
