I am SO excited! After 4 years of living in Australia, I've convinced my parents to come visit me (took all 4 years to do so!) The big stumbling block was that my mother is infirm and the flight from NY is hard for her.<BR><BR>Anyway, I am looking to see if anyone has used a good consolidator for international business or first class fares. I've used them for coach before, and was quite happy, but the companies I used did coach only and it was years ago.<BR><BR>Any help would be appreciated! If you've got names, phone numbers or web addresses, I'd be eternally grateful.<BR><BR>Happy New Year!

I deal with many reputable consolidators. Is that your real email?

Yes, but who are you? Are you a travel agent?

Yes I am. Okay if you'd rather do it on your own. I sell alot of Oz so I thought i'd offer.

I came on this board to find the same thing Deb. I have not found consolidators in a decade here in NYC.<BR><BR>I did want to tell you to consider breaking the trip up for your mom. Have her stay out on the west coast two nights. The Embassey Suites in San Francisco is lovely with a bay view. That worked for our family in Hawaii.

Hi again Deb.<BR><BR>You could have your p's stop off on the west coast and Honolulu. Breaks down the connection to Ackland by 4 hours maybe more for Sydney. I already mentioned to you how nice it is to sleep over on the west coast.<BR><BR>Well you probably know these stops already. I found it cheaper to use different airlines and tickets. Some how when it is all on the same ticket, it is more costly.
