I've always lost out if I don't book when I first look (often big time). Sometimes what I do is book a flight that will allow for cancellations or changes of dates rather than missing the opportunity.

Well I bit the bullet and got the ticket tonight. $307 Sydney- Ho Chi Minh return - direct flights - Vietjet - 19/9 - 17/12 - if they don’t allow the 90 day visas on June 24 I will learn how to do visa runs or just spend time in Laos and/or Cambodia, it’s all the same to me as I’ve not been to any of them. Paid but not received a confirmation email yet. Let the games begin.

Well done. That is almost free for me. Looking at over A$1,000 BKK to MEL later this year with Airasia. I can feel your excitement. I must also get off my bum and become nomadic again. Only been to MEL since 2020. Has age taken my motivation? Not totally but feet don't get as itchy as they used to be. But even MEL has lost its appeal as there have been up to 50% increases at my usual accommodation places. Back to dorm beds even if they have gone up also? I hope not. Maybe look at Vietjet via Vietnam to cover it. Oops, forgot going to Laos twice this year and still enjoyed it. But Penang is always on my mind so next stop I hope.

Nomadic Vietjet just now Bangkok Melbourne return Random dates chosen by me 27/10/23 - 17/11/23 $613.09 return
90 minute stopover at Ho chi ming 27/10
8 hour stopover at Ho chi Ming 17/11
Just an idea to check out Vietjet as they are flying to Melbourne via Vietnam now. Chose varying dates to try and get a quicker stopover. Get their app. It is ok to use once I worked it out. Just an idea for you.
