Summary

Experienced Travel Agent / Airfare Specialist – Frankfurt to Sydney via Asia I am looking for an experienced TRAVEL AGENT OR AIRFARE/TICKETING SPECIALIST to research the best flights for my family from Frankfurt to Sydney in December 2026. This is research only. I will make the booking myself. TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS - 2 adults + 2 children, aged 5 and 9 - Depart Frankfurt after 10 December 2026 - Arrive Sydney on 18, 19 or 20 December 2026 - 2–4 night stopover, ideally around 3 nights - No Middle East stopover - Frankfurt to stopover city must be NONSTOP - Stopover city to Sydney must be NONSTOP - Economy - 2 PHYSICAL CHECKED BAGS PER PERSON - 8 checked bags total - Ideally 2 x 23 kg per passenger IMPORTANT: A 30 kg or 40 kg total baggage allowance is not automatically equivalent. I need to know whether 8 separate bags can actually be checked and the final cost. Please primarily research this as two separate one-way tickets. Possible stopovers include Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Seoul, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Tokyo, Guangzhou and Shanghai, but other suitable cities are welcome. CURRENT BENCHMARK I have already found an option for approximately EUR 4,480 TOTAL for all 4 passengers, apparently including 2 x 23 kg baggage per passenger. I am particularly interested in someone who can find a materially better deal. A cheaper airfare does not count if it becomes more expensive after adding the required baggage. WHAT I NEED Please provide the best 5–10 options, including: - Airline and flight numbers - Exact dates and times - Stopover city and number of nights - Total airfare for all 4 passengers - Exact baggage allowance on both flights - Additional baggage cost if required - TRUE TOTAL FAMILY COST including all 8 bags - Booking source/link - Screenshot or evidence of availability Please identify your top 3 options. WHO I AM LOOKING FOR I want someone with genuine experience personally researching and pricing international airfares, fare families and baggage rules. Travel agent, airfare/ticketing, reservations or GDS experience is preferred. General VA or itinerary-entry experience alone is not sufficient. APPLICATION Please start your application with: 8 CHECKED BAGS Then briefly answer: 1. What experience do you personally have researching international airfares? 2. Have you worked as a travel agent, ticketing specialist or with a GDS? 3. If an airline gives a passenger a 30 kg baggage allowance, can I automatically assume they can check two separate 15 kg bags? Why? 4. If I arrive on 12 December and depart on 15 December, how many nights is the stopover? BUDGET Fixed price: USD $30. You are welcome to submit a HIGHER proposal if you believe your experience gives you a realistic chance of substantially beating my current EUR 4,480 all-in option. If proposing a higher fee, please tell me: - Your proposed fee - Approximately what all-in flight price you believe you have a realistic chance of finding - Briefly why you believe you can improve on my current option I am happy to pay more for genuine specialist expertise if it is likely to produce a substantially better result.
