re: airfares to australia - croupier the moron
No, Croupier was whinging, needing someone to hold his hand, and say "there there". Instead, he needed a kick in the bollocks, and realise he was on a good thing.
As an aside, when I lived in London, I never met so many Aussies that whinged in all my life. We really are worse than the English !!!. Complain all the time, instead of being thankful that they are there, which, from the most part (at least 95%) of travellers I meet here, they are.
Look, if you do need cheap tickets, think laterally. The cheapest tickets in the world are from Australia and England. The best round the world tickets bar none are here. The Americans can't believe the prices I pay. They think it is USD I am quoting, saying what a bargain, then I let them know it is AUD. Likewise the English, Germans, French, etc etc.
However, I do realise I have been rude to you today, so I apologize, but please, research what you say first, unless you are asking a question.
