I also notice the poster above says QR fuel surcharges are high? It only makes economic sense for me to fly Qatar CPT-DOH-MEL if the fuel surcharges are about the same or less than Qantas JNB-SYD.

I've just done a check in ITA
CPT-xDOH-MEL
- QR has fuel fines (YR) of ZAR1910
CPT-xJNB-xSYD-MEL (first flight on BA)
- BA fuel fine ZAR1047
- QF fuel fine ZAR1819
Depending on who tickets the itinerary, these surcharges may or may not be collected
But for sure if QR tickets then it will collect its own surcharges; and the same for QF
I guess that with a travelling party of four, these surcharges become important
