Short Getaway over Christmas - Cheap as Possible

Hi All!

Me and my girlfriend went into negative annual leave at work because of all the cheap flights I found through ozbargain. It was by accident, and was very good of our work to let us be in negative so that we still received pay over that xmas period.

this year we have caught up just enough annual leave to cover us over the xmas period. we still REALLY want to get away somewhere, anywhere.

normal shutdown period for work is from 18th december to like 3 or 4th of jan.

we literally just have enuff to cover this, so cant take a week earlier or anything like that.

We want to get away. anywhere. cheap. out of australia. strict travel dates. super flexible on location.

with todays AA and JS sale on Bali I managed to find $399 to bali on 18th december, return to SYD on 31st December for the $119.

If we price beat with JS, this will be $752 return for us to bali. we have been to bali before and enjoyed, would love to go again, just not sure if I can do better? here is some history of the deals from ozbargain i have used in the past (wont dig links but i remember the flights and price)

Phillipines return $143 each with Cebu
Bali Return $176 each with Garuda
Cambodia Return $400 each with Air Asia
Vietnam Return (in HCMC out Hanoi) $550 each Air Asia
Thailand Return ( $500 each Air Asia

Would you jump on it or would you wait and hope for something cheaper/better?

Thanks in advance

    Please don't mention Christmas.

    Jump in the car and see your country

    • How long should it take to cover east coast? Should one also explore inland areas than the coast highway?

    Maybe go Malaysia and S'pore for a change, hotels can be cheap if you are not choosy, not sure whether flights will be cheap as it is super peak season.

    • My suggestion exactly.

      Singapore for New Years would be amazing

  • What's there to do in Bali during that time?
