Sick of your job? Sick of your coworkers? Sick of your friends? Sick of doing pretty much the same thing every weekend and getting vaguely ill at ease with the idea that the weeks and months of your life are falling away quicker and quicker and you’re yet to find a sense of purpose or joy in what you’re doing? Nothing holds back a tide of crushing ennui like a trip overseas.
Given the current instability in the US, there’s never been a better time to pack your bags, head to Europe and hook up with an impressive roster of Mediterranean backpackers in between hearty sips of Czech beer that you couldn’t even begin to pronounce properly.
There’s also never been a better time to do it thanks to some insanely cheap flights from Scoot, Singapore Airlines‘ disarmingly low-cost international carrier.
Let’s get straight to the biscuits. So the flights all go into Athens, which seems like a not-at-all-terrible place to start a European holiday, but prices will vary based on where you’re coming from:
Sydney: $420
Perth: $369
Gold Coast: $415
Sydney: $399
Melbourne: $422
There are none from Adelaide or Darwin, unfortunately, but you could always fix that with a cheeky connecting domestic flight. The flights are available from June onwards, which is perfect if you’re after two summers.
The airfares themselves don’t include checked baggage or in-flight meals, so there will be an extra cost if you want to bring more than 7 or 8 KG worth of stuff and also don’t want to have to bring food for the flight.
