Hi,

I have 2 x award bookings using QF points for SYD-LHR in Business and AA miles for LHR-SYD in First.

We want to add LHR-BCN-MAD-LHR or LCY sectors in Business, however it appears that one way flights in Europe are expensive.

Options are:

1) Redeem AA miles for my partner and buy my flights, but 20k per sector seems steep;
2) Redeem AA points in Y
3) Book LHR-BCN and MAD-LHR/LCY which overcomes the one way pricing on ba.com, however BCN-MAD is still expensive;
4) Pay for the flights in Y given that they are so short; or
5) Purchase a Visit Europe fare.

Does anyone have experience of the Visit Europe fare? There's hardly any info on the qantas website. Any other suggestions?
