Not my usual time of year or direct fliights, so would like thoughts or advice here, please.
I budget carefully, so know already that higher tariff will apply in part, or in whole.

Normally, Martin's checks work, but this time I want to be in Delhi 3 Feb, plus 3 or so days either side. A week max. should be sufficient.
En route back, want to stop a few days in Adelaide.

All advice and thoughts will be much appreciated. Should I try 2 single flights+stop-off?
Have also looked at doing NZ>Adelaide<NZ bit as an AirNZ or Qantas[loathe them]mid-week special, then normal UK rtn flight.
Have spent some time getting nowhere over the last few weeks on all of this, not helped by living in a connectivity notspot.
[Irrelevant p.s. - had this post ready to go just now, only to see white screen and then bbc Sounds schedule. As so often, post lost.]

    U.K. (departure point not given) to Delhi to New Zealand then routing back Adelaide (via Delhi?) to U.K. is not an obvious routing with a certain airline alliance. I would suggest you call or visit a good travel agent like Trailfinders for something possibly as complex as this.

    Westin, thankyou - it is good of you to reply so quickly, despite my having to mash/correct post :-)
    Have put All London+nearby as airport dep. points so far.
    It's tiresome and time-consuming when results disappear or blue screen of death wrecks hours of determined effort.
    So, you're probably right. Should add I'm well-travelled, if earth-years ancient - a nonsense, number being a human construct:-)
    Delhi en rte back wasn't a necessity.

    I suggest you spend half a day in a place with a decent internet connection (public library?). If such a place has a branch of Trailfinders as well, so much the better.

    Latter element just about to begin, Voyager, thankyou :-)
    Library putahs are ancient and oversubscribed[notable town of gown] have been desperate enough to try.
    I do drive out to use mob. but complexity of this trip causes sulks, so no go either.
    Just phoned Trailfinders, hence 1st sentence.
