I have found flights to Stockholm with Singapore Airlines, leaving Sydney on 24/6/2018 and returning on 30/8/2018
They are $1019.
29 hours one way and 35 hours on the return. I am happy to hang around the airport and go to the pool etc. (Especially if they still offer the $40 for flying with Singapore).
Is this a good enough deal to book now?'
I think if I lock it in I should get cheaper or have more choice in accomodation, than if I wait for a better deal.
We will stay in Stockholm for 2 weeks then travel around and return for the last week (4 grandchildren there)
The booking company ( through I want that flight )is My Trip . Com
I have never heard of them.
Has anybody booked with them?
Be nice I am a senior.
Thanks

Thank you. I have flown Singapore too and have found them good. Think I will book. Really appreciate your answer.
I've never used MyTrip, I much prefer to book through airlines direct. I'd be wary about that price, the same flights on the Singapore Airlines website is $1766, so that is a huge price reduction. Which to my paranoid mind is ringing alarm bells. Even Skyscanner is showing the cheapest airfare for any airline (which funnily enough is Singapore) is $1674.
Thank you. I think it is very inexpensive for the time of the year. . I went from a link on I want that Flight. That was on Ozbargain this week..
I thought because they seem to be legit they wouldn't have a dodgy booking site on their site. I even checked several times that it was Au $.
Now I am in 2 minds. I did look on Singapore site as well.
Will sleep on it
Thanks for answering and checking .It would be strange for that to be the inexpensive time of the year, because European summer is peak season, I thought, could be wrong.
Hi, it is peak season . That is why I am surprised. It is on Skyscanner too. I don't like peak season but that is when I have to go.
Thanks
While in Stockholm i recommend to take the ferry trip to Helsinki. Overnight to Helsinki, 7hrs at the city then 1 night back to Stockholm.
Silja Line is better IMO and you can get 4 person cabins from $100. Better cabins with seaside window from $250 or so. Food and shopping in the ferry is quite cheap as well :)
It's practically cheaper than staying in hotel in Stockholm :P
Also, beware the taxis in Stockholm, prices are not regulated and they charge arm and leg if you don't haggle. Finnish taxis are fine.
Thank you. I will be doing the ferry to Riga this time. I have done the ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn.. Stayed a few days and came back overnight. It is only about 2 hours but you have a cabin and stay on the boat until morning. We bought the breakfast box. We wished we had waited and grabbed something in Helsinki. Thank you for your help.
I haven't used mytrpip.com myself but there are comments here on ozbargain that indicate that it is fine. another online travel booking site.
$1019 is pretty good. - I'd be well satisfied with that price. and singapore is a decent airline (I just did Bris-Beijing 2 weeks ago)
there are occasional fares from norwegian air . like this current deal to London https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/326928
