I need YOU! (imagine uncle sam pointing a finger at you.)

Choose one, or recommend better options.

Option 1: $226 per person for 4 bed dorm in backpackers lodge. No attached bathroom. Probably need to share with a stranger cos we only have 3 travelling. Good location. All dorms have a TV and fridge in the room.

Option 2: Book a twin room for $963 and try to squeeze in unoticed . $321 per person. Bathroom attached. The hotel offers leisure facilities including spa, sauna and gym. The in house Gold Fish Bowl bar offers the perfect place to unwind with a cool drink. Room facilities include TV, dataport, tea/coffee facilities and in room safes. Sounds like a better deal, but will be difficult to pull through the stunt as we are staying for 7 days and it's a relatively small hotel (226 rooms) so it will seem pretty obvious. May end up paying more if we get caught. Or you can suggest how not to get caught.

Option 3: Be a goodie law abiding tourist and book a triplet room in the above hotel for.. damn.. $1324! Whatever they taught us about economies of scale is utter unqualified bullshit. $441 - which translates into half a month of my current earnings. Note the third bed in a triple room is a rollaway bed.

Next, air tix. Anbody has a better deal than this?

$498 on SIA to sydney. Taxes and surcharges amount to $270. $768 in total.
