Looking to fly out to Australia in March 2021, ideally MAN-LHR-SIN-MEL.

In these cases, the website will not let me book the full journey in one go, but it looks as if I would have to make two separate bookings, which in turn would then be an issue should the arrival into SIN be delayed and we miss our MEL flight.

(Incidentally, would need to use BA for the flights to SIN in order to take advantage of the Amex 2-4-1 voucher.)

With this in mind, would the only viable option be to make the booking over the phone?
yes over the phone for redemption bookings like this but sin Mel will have to be a different pnr as won't be ba flight so can't go on 241 ticket so will have to leave plenty of time in between flights probably best a night or 2 stop overdepending on connecting times
