Very much appreciate the discussions- its very helpful!

Yes, EK do still run the NCL-DXB flight- this is obviously the cheapest option, however....I am currently 75TP from retaining Silver with a Year end of 8th April so really need to be flying something OneWorld!

I don't think the NCL-DXB-SIN flight with EK can book into a Qantas flight number, so possibly need to do something EDI-DOH-SIN, plus I get to fly the A350!
