I was holding out for a BA fare to drop so I could use the nonstop AUS-LHR for both legs, and eventually it did. Then I double dipped with the AARP and Chase discounts (almost worth it to have both even if you just fly BA once or twice a year). With more competition, fares to Europe are better. It is so nice going straight from and back to AUS.
