Maldives 

If you’re looking to get to London there are plenty of options, but a lot of people are now opting for the Maldives, as a way to top up on their tans on the way to the UK.

Dubai

Many travellers head to Europe via Asia, but Emirates’ and Etihad’s emergence has seen destinations in the Middle East like Dubai becoming increasingly popular for travellers.

Fiji 

The quickest way to get to Los Angeles is straight from Sydney, but if you’ve got a bit of extra travel time up your sleeve why not add a couple of days in Fiji and enjoy time by the beach.

Korea 

Australians looking to take an African safari should take advantage of the non-stop services offered from Seoul Incheon to Nairobi.

Abu Dhabi 

Another Middle Eastern destination worth visiting, and becoming increasingly popular is Abu Dhabi for routes to South Africa and parts of Europe that you’d like to visit.

Reunion
