Awesome, thanks! Just changed the routing which via Expedia ensured First class listings by going through CGK and back to KUL as suggested (High five, nawlins! - TY too) for a bit cheaper flight as well. I picked early Sept 4 nights in Dubai.
Appreciate the heads-up FF. i missed out on the SYD/ AUK deals while traveling home for the holidays and excited to jump in on this one.
