Bianca’s route desk
The route comes before the ticket
Bianca starts with the journey, not with one flight search. She works out which airports fit the next chapter, compares nearby alternatives and keeps testing combinations until the complete connection makes sense.
many searches, one route that worksStart with the next chapter
Map where the journey needs to continue and which arrival point makes the onward route practical.
Compare nearby airports
Test departure and arrival airports in the wider area, including the time and cost required to reach them.
Price the whole connection
Compare routing, baggage, seats, transfers and stopovers instead of choosing one attractive headline fare.
Book when the route is ready
For 2027 we booked as early as possible once the booking window opened. Several fares have risen since, so waiting would not have helped our route.
Test the payment currency
Where an airline offers several currencies, compare the final payable amounts and the card’s foreign-currency terms before paying.

The displayed currency changed the final price
We tested the currencies before paying
For one of our 2027 Singapore Airlines bookings, we entered several available payment currencies and compared the final totals. The local currency was the cheapest option. Because our Krak Card test did not add a foreign-currency fee, we paid in that currency rather than accepting a more expensive conversion.

First long haul with Leni
We waited until flying felt right for us
Before Leni had seen Austria, getting on a plane with her was never our priority. Her first long-haul journey to Canada came when she was almost four, and both directions were completely relaxed: she was excited, waited patiently, watched television and slept on board.
That experience is why the long flights in 2027 do not worry us. Family priority boarding is useful where the airline offers it, but Leni turns six during the world tour, so it is a welcome extra rather than something our plans depend on.
