Reply To: Companion Voucher for Perth, Australia

I think you will be fine in January for Singapore. The T-355 seats go quickly but the 241 opens up extra seats which are generally the ones at les popular times i.e. Tuesdays/Wednesdays in January. Typically available several months before but can be longer.

Now if you were flying from the provinces rather than London I think you’d be near guaranteed getting these seats but BA now seem to offload the cheap seats from the provinces whilst keeping London pricing higher. This is reflected through I class availability being better from places like sunny Edinburgh than London.

For what it’s worth, I think BA to Singapore with the companion voucher is a good shout. Singapore to Perth is not far compared to the Middle East to Singapore (less than half the distance). So one big sleep to Singapore in business class followed by a manageable shorter flight (even I could tolerate SIN-PER in economy) is a pretty good way of doing it.
