I can get. sure

That's your best bet. Book VA with DL. There's lots of availability in J. It's considered the best value to Australia.

Approx amount of points?

Are there rental codes that will waive underage fee? I reserved cars with usaa code and afraid it might not be accepted.

See @Yehuda's recent post in his TR of GIB about that.

I saw the post. That's why I want to know codes specific for Australia.

Can you explain Why DL is the best value.

My brother plans to leave SYD on a 9:40am flight back to LAX. The day before we will be in Melbourne. Can he fly on the 6am flight from MEL that lands at 7:25am in SYD, or is that cutting it close?
He is on QF F for the return journey which I assume will expedite the process.

If he's on QF to SYD he he should be fine. His bags will transfer, and he might even be able to just check in in MEL even though it might be separate tickets.

Im taking off in two weeks. I am looking for AJKs TR on Australia and cannot find it. Any help? I am trying to figure out the food situation at the moment.

Dan · « **Reply #114 on:** May 17, 2015, 01:00:14 PM »

AJK has been to Australia?
Doubt the food situation has changed much since I was there.

shmebeble · « **Reply #115 on:** May 17, 2015, 11:59:03 PM »

Nvmnd. I will find your TR then. I knew I read one sometime, just didn't remember whose it was.

shmebeble · « **Reply #116 on:** May 19, 2015, 12:12:21 PM »

I cant find the post I am looking for ( and yes I spent time looking)
What is my best option for food within Australia? I am going for 3 1/2 weeks. We are starting in Sydney going to Darwin then Cairns and finally to Melbourne.
I will be in Darwin/Cairns for 10 days so need good options for there.
Thank you
any other tips are also appreciated.

You can buy tons of kosher food at Coles and Woolworths if you have the KA kosher book/website. For bread, meat/chichen/lamb, and cheese/dairy you'll need to stock up in SYD or MEL. The Coles and Woolworths in Bondi Junction have large kosher selections.

Kakadu national park and Litchfield. I was told it is beautiful there this time of year.

I think I am going to be limited when it comes to refrigeration. I am hopping between a bunch of hotels.
