Sydney: LOTS of Avios seats in Club World showing for April to June 2026

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

A reader flagged this evening (Saturday) that a LOT of Avios availability in Club World is currently showing for April, May and June 2026.

On many dates you can get FOUR Club World seats.

Whilst its heading into winter, I’m sure demand is still there from the ‘friends and family’ market.

There is also a LOT of inbound Club World availability in September, October and November 2025, but virtually nothing in business class going out.

Here’s a SeatSpy screenshot (our preferred seat search partner) which shows dates with TWO seats in Club World between London Heathrow and Sydney:

Here is availability for FOUR seats in Club World:

This is not ‘phantom’ availability as far as I can tell. Of course, by the time you look things could have changed from 10pm Saturday when I wrote this.

    Loads of J seats to/from Buenos Aires were released last Weds, there was lots of availability in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb and beyond, which is most unusual and I managed to switch onto a better date for my return flight in Jan. There was a lot of availability still showing yesterday but now there’s only 2 dates for the whole year.

    Stumbled on this availability independently a few days before the article.. couldn’t believe it. Got the last 2 Club World outbound seats in November (and all of Q4 aside from Xmas period) and managed a 10 day Singapore stopover on the way back (all achieved on the website to my surprise)!
