  Wow, $408 return to the USA - could this be a new low? Surely they wouldn't charge extra for meals on a 10 hour flight, though?

    Not quite

    They would. Pile up on food at the airport before the flight.

      Smart thinking, although most unrefrigerated food will only last for 4 hours before spoiling, leaving you without anything for the last 6 hours of the flight. I sometimes bring tuna cans on board, though. Mind you, the longest flight I've been on that didn't serve a free meal was 6 hours (across the continental US).

        4 hours? my mum made me sandwiches every day for 13 years and all of them sat in my bag sometimes in 40 degree heat from 7am until 1pm and I don't think I once got food poisoning. I think an air conditioned plane can support lots of different food for 10 hours.

        @Jackson:

        Was there meat/chicken in these sandwiches?

  Just returned from Hawaii. Shopping is absolutely insane. Snagged Polo shirts for $12. Tommy shirts for $20. I traveled with Hawaiian airlines and their baggage allowance is a whopping 86 kg per person economy.

    Can't beat the states on consumerism.

    How did you get an 86kg allowance? We're traveling with them soon and our paperwork says we get 2 x 32kg bags, so 64kg.
    Doubt we'll need that much, but just curious!

      Plus 22kg carry on mate :)

    What kind of Polo shirts, though? Usually only the unpopular ones (yellow, orange, pink etc) or ones with ugly stripes are offered at such low prices. Whenever I go to the US, they're like $50-$60 USD or more at most malls for the "normal" ones. You would assume that everything in Hawaii would be even more expensive, due to the extra shipping costs from the mainland.

      actually the other way around. HI is smart like this. They want you to spend money in their state so they seem to be cheaper and baggage allowance is heaps as well.

      The choices and options there are crazy. for every design we have here, they have like 10. I bought coach emoji wallets for the kids for $15 each. Coach shoes for $60. Coach bags for <$100.

      I went to Waikele premium outlets 2 days in a row and could not even go to half the shops :(.

      There are several premium outlets like these..

    I went to Hawaii during Black Friday. It was bargain hunters paradise.

      Do they still call it Black Friday? Afro-American Friday sounds more politically correct.

    • 

      ilsan0 on 13/10/2017 - 09:40

      Oh yes. The people at outlets told me to comeback during black friday to get further 60-70% of already crazy prices.

      The rush would be crazy though…

      I too went to Hawaii last year, just for Black Friday weekend. The outlet was nuts, heaps and heaps of people everywhere, everything was very cheap. Adidas, coach, Michael Kors, Kate Spade were very very busy. Definitely must have time & patience for these things!

  Would be great until you add food and 20kg baggage - $440 each return from Sydney becomes $650 each return. I'd pay the extra $200 with qantas and get the perks including good entertainment system!!

  Awesome.. got a family of 4 return to Honolulu for under $2k (inc 70kg of luggage)! Apparently we need that much :)
  Now to find some deals on accommodation! Anyone got a few tips?

    So great to hear! :)

    Booking.com is good for hotel bookings, there are some cashback deals like this available.

  Is this a good price for Melbourne to Bali? We want to go in June next year but I remember that tickets used to cost us under $300 return including checked baggage.
