So some of my family now live in Darwin, NT - and my parents want to visit a few times a year from London. But they want to use BA for as much of the flying as possible, having GGL status.

This time they are flying LHR - SYD with BA, and back up to Darwin on Qantas. Seems a bit crazy given they are only 4-ish hours from Darwin when they are in Sydney. But they don’t fancy paying for a 4hr flight on a budget airline or non-OneWorld flights.

But are are there better options out there? Any genius ideas?
