Brisbane to Amsterdam with China Eastern from A$1374 — 13% below the typical deal price of A$1580.
🌏 17-hour layover in Shanghai = a free mini-break. The outbound stops 17 hours at Shanghai Pudong — long enough to turn a transit into a bonus city. Australia is among the nationalities now eligible for China’s visa-free entry (15 days; check current rules before you go), so you can clear immigration, ride the Maglev into town for the Bund, Yu Garden and a plate of soup dumplings, then head back. Prefer to arrive fresh? Book an airport-area hotel, sleep flat, and land in Amsterdam rested instead of jet-lagged after one of the longest routes in the world.
