Christianne Risman crafted an innovative travel strategy to visit her family in Australia, avoiding high flight costs by piecing together a series of self-transfers across four countries. Her 26-hour journey involved flights from London to Athens, then to Singapore, and finally to Perth, costing only £418 compared to over £3,000 for direct options. While the plan saved her money, it came with risks, including the potential loss of flights without airline support if delays occurred. Packaged lightly for the trip, she overcame challenges to make this cost-efficient adventure a reality.
"The entire thing was self-transfers which meant that if any of the flights messed up along the way, the liability would be entirely on me and the airlines wouldn't do anything to help me, not even compensate me."
"Normally, the flights are thousands of pounds, I even looked months ago and it was so expensive so there was literally no other way around it but to do it really cheaply."
