Do you find it difficult to find a travel destination?

I must confess that sometimes we do. This leads to changing plans - and the last few years it happens more often than before.

Last year, we had planned a trip to Vienna and Bratislave around Christmas. Somewhere in summer we were noticed by the airline that our flight was cancelled. They offered different options, but none pleased us. Either we had to leave a day later, or get to the airport early in the morning (and there are not trains that early). So we opted for payback and changed our plans. We ended up in Cairo (and did not regret it).

For this year, we had thought of going to Doha (Qatar) in December. There is a direct flight from Brussels to Doha with Qatar Airways, but it is very expensive (would be around 2600,00 € for two people, which I think is a bit steep). So we abandoned these plans and set out to finding something different. A plan came up to go to the Baltic states. Unfortunately, two of the flights would be with Air Baltic, and when looking at the conditions to buy a ticket we noticed you can't be sure of the price you pay. You can go for the cheapest price, but somewhere in the small print is that the airline can put you in a higher class without notice - and you'd pay up a nice sum. Don't want to do that either.

Already two weekends we've been thinking of where to go. Iceland would be nice as well, but there were no free rooms over Christmas in the hotels we checked. Besides, my sister wants to feel some sun on her skin during those dark days we get here.

So right now we're looking at the Far East. Found out that a direct flight to Singapore costs less than the tickets for Qatar. Singapore Airlines begins to fly direct from Brussels in October of this year. And the hotel has availability. Plus there is enough to see and do there. Or perhaps Thailand? That is also nice during the Christmas break.
