Morning all from a grey and Chilly Billericay. I am planning a trip to the Ashes later this year. In an attempt to keep cost in hand, but have some comfort my plan is to do LHR – KL in Business then the short hop to Perth in economy. Returning the same way Via Melbourne these flights would be Malaysian. There are BA flights that arrive/leave KL some 3 hours before/after the shorter hops to Perth and back from Melbourne. My question is as both BA and Malaysian are Oneworld would that cover any issues with delayed flights and missed connections in the event that happened.
