I'm flying to London from Sydney on Sunday. I have a Cathay J redemption but I'm planning to cancel and rebook with QF on revenue economy. Debating whether to choose SYD-SIN-LHR; SYD-PER-LHR or SYD-MEL-PER-LHR.
Edging towards SYD-MEL-PER-LHR as want to try the new route. Via MEL I get more points than direct to Perth and I get to use the new lounge. Make sense?
My only other factor is upgrade availability. Any thoughts on whether more change of points upgrade via SIN? I am Qantas Platinum.
