Thank you pbd456. See here:

Can AA do this with a reservation on hold?
I see in EF that QF hasn't yet updated their prices (nor has AB, RJ, JJ . . .) so before I argue with the AA RTW desk and try to get my AUD4.8k back I thought I'd give Qantas a go.

After a further 20 minutes on hold the agent returned to the call saying her supervisor and another staff member are trying to price it manually. I'm currently overseas. The cost of calling QF on Skype is AUD0.11 a minute. I've been on the phone 1h46m. At this rate, it will end up being cheaper just to originate in Australia!
