Melburnians eager to explore more of the world in 2024 will have a new convenient option with the introduction of Asiana Airlines' twice-weekly non-stop flights between Melbourne and Seoul starting from December 26, 2023.

This isn't Asiana Airlines' first venture into Victoria; a brief trial began in December 2019, utilizing a Boeing 777 and initially set to run until February 2020. However, the pandemic thwarted any plans for extension.

After a prolonged absence, the Korean carrier is making a comeback to Tullamarine Airport, offering twice-weekly flights on its Airbus A350 every Tuesday and Thursday. The departure from Melbourne, labeled OZ6043, is scheduled for 10 pm, reaching Seoul-Incheon at 6:40 am the following morning. Conversely, the return flight, OZ6033, takes off from Seoul at 8 am and lands in Melbourne at 8:30 pm on the same day.

Despite the promising return, there's a hint that this introduction might be another trial, as schedules are currently only available until February 29. Successful operations, however, could pave the way for year-round flights.

Asiana's A350 features a 1-2-1 'Business Smartium' class, providing 22 passengers with the option to recline in lie-flat comfort during the 10-hour and 30-minute flight.

Qantas Update

Perth to Paris & Sydney to Paris flights -

Starting from July 12, 2024, Boeing 787 flights by Qantas will commence with a schedule of four flights per week, continuing at this frequency until mid-August. Afterward, Qantas plans to reduce the flights to three times a week throughout the entire year. This is in contrast to the Perth-Rome flights, which operate three times a week exclusively from June to October.

Initially, QF33 will depart from Sydney at 1:55 pm on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with a stop in Perth at 5:00 pm local time. After a 155-minute layover, the flight continues directly to Paris at 7:35 pm, arriving at 6:55 am the following day, resulting in a total flight time of 17 hours and 20 minutes.

The return journey, QF34, departs from Paris at 9:55 am on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. This flight takes a shorter 16 hours and 35 minutes, landing back in Perth at 8:30 am the next morning. QF34 then proceeds to its final destination, Sydney, departing at 10:00 am and arriving at 4:05 pm.

Points needed for each class: Sydney - Perth - Paris
Economy - 55,200 points
Premium Economy - 108,400 points
Business - 144,600 points

Airline updates:

Emirates is planning to commence Airbus A350 flights to Australia around mid-2024, and Adelaide is among the potential early destinations for this advanced aircraft.

The airline has not disclosed its plans for configuring its 50 ordered A350-900s, but it is widely anticipated that a three-class layout, featuring business class, premium economy, and economy, is the most probable choice. Emirates President Sir Tim Clark has mentioned Darwin as a possible route for the A350.

Son Bunyola - Majorca, Spain

Richard Branson’s latest dreamscape, Son Bunyola, is worth the splurge. Three spacious, traditional Balearic villas (one has five bedrooms, the others four) lie sprawled across 680 acres on Mallorca’s northwest coast. Each has its own heated pool, sleek kitchen, and courtyard with dining area, although Son Balagueret – housing a bedroom in the original 13th-century turret – has its own magic.

The lush estate includes vineyards, olive groves, and citrus orchards; you can walk to the beach, hike and bike on miles of mountain trails, or play some of the island’s almost two dozen golf courses.

How to Cruise Where the Crowds Aren't

See Omani fjords, snorkel in South Pacific lagoons, and hike through a Canarian cloud forest on these Windstar Cruises sailings that call on less-touristed outposts!

Small-ship cruises aren’t just about having the whirlpool bath to yourself (though that’s definitely a bonus). They’re also about calling at intriguing ports where bigger ships won’t fit, spending more time exploring on land, and getting to know the attentive staff that always remembers exactly how you take your coffee.

Windstar Cruises, known for its fleet of six sailing and all-suite yachts that each carry fewer than 350 passengers, ticks all those boxes. “With Windstar, you’re getting more of the big-ship experience in terms of onboard amenities, but without the crowds,” says Virtuoso travel advisor Jeannie Cartier Sauleau.

Those outsize amenities include several restaurant choices, a lavish spa, nightly entertainment, and a water-sports program that allows passengers to swim, snorkel, or paddle directly from a shipboard marina.

Cruising with Windstar also offers the opportunity to explore destinations travelers might not have considered before. Instead of visiting the usual overcrowded vacation spots, Windstar takes its passengers to more-secluded and farther-flung ports of call for a truly authentic experience.
