Singapore Air: Milan (MXP) to Melbourne (MEL) for £1,161 one-way
 

This deal may be good for a round-the world trip on points or as a return using points on one leg.

Note that round-trip is roughly double the price. You can find this date in November, on skyscanner - it is a very very nice deal indeed to eastern Australia.

You will also enjoy the amazing experience of flying Singapore Air business class - all-in-all win-win!

Works to SYD too and allows for a free stopover at SIN.

brilliant

This is very good! Any other points of origin? When I have a moment I will check Rome.

Definitely works from FCO as that's what I checked. :)

Good fare that works to MEL as well.

A bit cheaper for return tickets at EUR2,325 (~GBP2,070). As others said an excellent way to try out SQ J with the A350 to SIN and 777 to SYD/MEL

TG Prices MIL/FCO-MEL/SYD at 2285 EUR in J class
SQ Prices MIL/FCO-MEL/SYD at 2325 EUR in D class

SQ earns 150% miles with Miles&More, with maximum on MIL-SIN-SYD route giving 30882 miles for 2325 = 7.53 cpm

TG earns 200% miles with Miles&More, with maximum on MIL-BKK-SYD route giving 41160 miles for 2275 = 5.53 cpm

This is very interesting! Thanks

EDIT: It is also valid to AKL, which is 1300 miles further, giving best value!

thanks fo this, but TG does not come up in my google searches. where did you find this? I'm looking for October dates, the SQ ones are all for november.

I have just used Matrix. Perhaps availability is bad?

Thanks JanoSicek, will have a go on matrix

I believe TG does not fly every day from Milan. Check for both departures from MXP and FCO as well.

I know its not SIN but AI (not my fav but do fly 787s) is offering FRA to SYD for £1900 on various dates into summer 2018. also, the above SIN rates are also through summer 2018.

I think there are miserable reviews of AI even in the premium classes. I wouldn't fly them if I had to pay for it (maybe not even if it were free)

+1 (based on my recent travel experience with AI)

I think looking online it seems that they are beyond horrible. No wonder the £1900 rate!

Also, garuda has these rates from LHR to Oz but problem is from Vietnam Google flights lists the business class as inclined and not true flat. Having said that, garuda has excellent reviews online.
