Need Cheap Multi City Flights (MEL-NYC-AMD-MEL)

Hi Guys, I am looking for bargain on multi city route for my upcoming trip in December 2024- Jan 2025.

So, this is what i need, +/- 3 days:

22 Dec MEL- NYC,
5 Jan NYC - AMD,
22 Jan AMD- MEL

I have looked through few websites and found that cheap option for me would be to book all this as 3 separate flights, and that gets to about $4400 in economy, without any self transfers at AIRPORT.

Plus, I was thinking of applying for ANZ Black credit card, which gets me 180000 bonus points (approx. $800 in giftcards, and $150 cashback.

Just need some valuable suggestions, if i should do something else.

Thanks Heaps., Cheers.

    There’s no cheap flights to US at Christmas time.. there’s just “not as expensive”

    • Yeah instead of cheap I should've said less expensive

    You should drop either NYC or AMD for your PEAK travel trip if you want to save costs. 4 grand seems reasonable for that amount of travel around the globe.

    • Yeah I guess after COVID this price is the new normal now. Its just that never spent that kinda money on flights before, so just trying to cut down cost wherwver I can.

  • I assume you’ve looked at the round the world fares?

    • No, I haven't. Is it different than normally how we check flight like one way, return and multi city?

      • You can do it by selecting round the world but it looks like it might not be cheaper.

        Try playing around with Skyscanner. I think you might find it a tad cheaper but you might not like the flights.

    If you flexible with where you land in europe there are some new low cost carriers like norse air that on sale fly usa to europe $200usd. Saw vegas to paris advertised $299rt. Paris is bullet train ride away to amsterdam. Wife and I were looking at these flights as they lined up nicely with with some cheap US flights from Fiji air. For a double Disney adventure with amsterdam and Vegas thrown in.
