  If I didn’t have a QR ex-EU booked in October I would have been all over this. Fare rules say stopovers allowed too, 1 free and 2 at £35 each in each direction.

  3 STOPOVERS PERMITTED IN EACH DIRECTION
  LIMITED TO 1 FREE AND 2 AT PLN 200.00 EACH.

  Great fare, hope some get to enjoy it.

    I take it the only way to add in stopovers is to phone up expedia/opodo as can’t get it to work online at all?

    • Rob says:

      Any travel should be able to do it but odd ticket rules may, in practice, make it tricky. Amex Travel can be good if you get the right agent.

        Mildly OT: on the AMEX Travel front, with a Plat, is the debacle of BA no longer interlining avoidable by asking AMEX Travel (or Plat Concierge?) to book an ITA itinerary (e.g. ex-EU) along with a positioning flight and guarantee done within a single PNR?

        If not, is Propeller et al. the solution?

        I read on Flyertalk that pax encountering refusals to interline even on LX (on *A..) with the resident lurker saying that such interlining “a courtesy”.. Hope bad habits not spreading.

          If all on one ticket you’d be protected however you would then be liable for the UK long haul premium rate APD and wouldn’t be eligible for the same ex-EU fare basis.

          I normally position via another carrier anyway direct from EDI and make it part of the trip with a night or weekend away 🙂 Amex Plat with Priority Pass is excellent for this too – I had a lovely shower at the lounge in BRU on the way home after not having time in LHR after major delays at security and with rubbish shower availability at Galleries South!

          Thank you Alan.

          Overlooked the APD issue – had hoped a Corp TA/AMEX Travel could simply “marry” the two itineraries on a single PNR. Utility would extend also to being able to use full long-haul J baggage allowance across itinerary. Will have to see what various TAs can offer.

  Looking at dates on Expedia during sept. Even better fares..£1160 return. Wow..wish i could book these What would the TPs be for this flight.

  • AndyR says:

    Depends on the routing but could be up to 840TP’s to Oz and 920TP’s to NZ.

    • James A says:

      20 Jun20 June 21:28

      Max seems to be 1120 TP

      • AndyR says:

        20 Jun20 June 22:23

        Which route is that?

        • will says:

          21 Jun21 June 00:54

          Technically it would be 3 stopovers in each direction with at least 2000 miles between each stop. No idea on emirates/qantas routes but I imagine that could be an impossibility.

        • will says:

          21 Jun21 June 01:05

          Most I can hook up is 3 stops on way out (3 legs >2000 and 1 2000) for £1260 which is 880TP’s. Certainly a bona fide TP run which is very rare to aus.

        • James A says:

          21 Jun21 June 05:38

          WAW-DXB-SIN-PER-SYD and back. Prices fine on matrix, I didn’t try further as I’m not going to ticket it. Swapping SYD & PER works too.

      • David says:

        20 Jun20 June 22:40

        Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you get more than 560 TPs (4x LH flights in J) on this route?

        • TimS says:

          21 Jun21 June 11:05

          4 sectors outbound & 4 sectors inbound.

• Dave H says:

  may be over just checked a flight to brisbane and it has doubled during the process

  • Dave H says:

    20 Jun20 June 19:53

    or maybe not just tried another destination and the price has come up as £1100pp

  Just booked through Opodo for £1,275. Booked at 8:50pm and got a confirmation email and QF booking number about 15 mins after evenbeen able to chose my seats. On the return I chose SYD – DXB via BKK does that mean I get an extra leg of TPs and avios ?

  • Planeflyer says:

    23 Jun23 June 12:19

    Only if it’s two separate flight numbers. I think this is a through service DXB-BKK-SYD-CHC, so only one set of TPs and Avios. And it think it’s operated by the 777 rather than the A380 on directs, so no onboard bar or direct aisle acess for all J seats.

  Thanks Rob. Is there a tech reason that you can’t send out emails for these later / unplanned posts? 🙂

  • M says:

    20 Jun20 June 22:31

    I think there are lots of tech issues as I used to get the daily emails and they stopped 2 weeks ago. So I reregistered and got the confirm subscription email, clicked on the confirm subscription link and I still don’t get the emails!

    • Rob says:

      20 Jun20 June 22:52

      Hmm. Drop me an email and I can take a look.

      Mass emails are hugely problematic. Your ISP can decide at any point that a sender is spam and you cannot reverse it. I can no longer receive MSE newsletters or the Royal Academy (of all things) via my primary email address.

  • Rob says:

    20 Jun20 June 22:49

    It would probably annoy people! Technically it is possible albeit fiddly.

    Getting the 7,000 email readers to pop by the main site occasionally to see if they missed anything is also no bad thing.

      Or to follow on social media…

• Rob says:

  Never done Qantas but Emirates has a better reputation.

• Nick says:

  21 Jun21 June 08:14

  The fare appears to have been withdrawn over night………no great surprise.

  • Richmond says:

    21 Jun21 June 09:16

    It’s still avialable via Expedia and probably other OTAs.

    • Dave H says:

      21 Jun21 June 11:09

      Yes it is still available via Expedia as I have just bitten the bullet, WAW-DBX-MEL-CNS-MEL-DBX-WAW for £1275, we were looking at a TP/mileage run to HNL anyway, but I much prefer to go Down Under.

• Bob says:

  We flew Qantas J MEL-SIN recently and it was better than the Emirates business class we flew on an earlier leg… Both were excellent though, you can’t lose with that choice!
