BNE/CNS/SYD/MEL - PER
MEL/SYD – DRW
MEL/SYD - BME
Thanks, yes, the fare rules for Australia really make you jump through hoops if you want to see Perth! Mileage Monkey said it was okay, it seems that PER-DRW does not count against you (MM could be wrong, but the rule you quote looks consistent with this).
I am considering another tack, which is to go AKL-SYD-CNS-DRW-PER-SIN (MM approves) and then pay my way from Singapore through Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam and pick up again HAN-HKG. Flights in Australia are expensive! If anyone has a view between the two ways of doing it, I'd be interested to hear it . . .
