Before you book
- Prices aren’t shown here. The buttons open live searches, and Christmas fares change quickly.
- Kayak sometimes joins separate tickets into one result (a “Hacker Fare”), and Skyscanner calls these “self-transfer”. On separate tickets a delay is your problem, not the airline’s, so leave plenty of connection time.
- 11 Jan is a Monday. Korean Air’s nonstop from Seoul to Melbourne only flies on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, so the trip home has one stop. Flying home on Sunday 10 Jan would make it nonstop.
- Taipei to Nanning may have no nonstop, so options C and D usually connect in Guangzhou or Shenzhen. Allow at least 2 hours there, because you clear immigration at your first stop in China.
- If a search opens empty, switch the site to multi-city and enter the flights by hand.
