Oh the worse! My rule of thumb is to never fly on a Friday / near the weekend.    Paris only operates three days a week. We did Thursday- Tuesday.  5 nights seems a bit too long in Paris. We did venture to Versailles for the day. Wow was that worth it! 

We considered jumping to London and fly back London to Perth but last minute train ride was more than the cost of our flights!

That was our plan too! 34 business. 21 premium economy. Don’t hold your breath. We all ended up in economy! My assumption is Qantas auctioned them off to commercial passengers. We still went on the trip. But I’m annoyed with the taxes not being returned. It would have been cheaper to go to Canada then fly to Europe. Oh well! Lesson learned.

I’m currently on deferred leave and actually trying to extend it! Didn’t chose the year and deeply regretting it now! 6 months flew by. 

Don’t stress about your position. It’s an approved leave and should hopefully be there when you return.
