Just an FYI but there's a new big QR sale starting Jan9 so anyone considering booking with them might want to hold onto that until the 9th

I've had a look but can't see anything to AKL in this MH deal - has anyone found anything?
Thanks

Consider LHR- SYD and then use avios to connect to AKL with LAN on one of their 787,s
I picked a random date 9 Apr (Dep SYD 1110 arrive AKL 1620) and seats are available:
Costs OW : J = 11000 Av + GBP 145.10 - 18200 + GBP 90.10
Y = 4000 + 120.10 - 8500 + 85.10
Had considered this flight myself, although starting in Mel - Syd -Akl but will fly west to Perth next week instead, unfortunately using good old fashioned cash (no Av redemptions available). Plus if you were a OWE you'd get to use the very nice QF F lounge in Syd !

TXL - JNB just dropped by a grand or so for later this month £1452 return https://goo.gl/flights/LPfz
Looks like a lot of forward availability as well.

I have not had a chance to look into detail, but hopefully this is the start of something, at least!

Anyone found a way to get around the odd 26-day (?) max stay?

Great find!
Works open jaw too, can do OPO-JNB CPT-OPO I need that for Feb 2018 haha shame I can't book that far ahead yet!
for extra TPs it can be started in FNC
https://goo.gl/flights/5TYK
although I wouldn't recommend starting it there! But you can do OPO-JNB-FNC for a nice route if you haven't visited those 2 places

Does OPO-MAD-LHR-JNB work for present triple avios offer?
There're flights operated by IB (OPO-MAD, MAD-LHR) and I'm affraid they're not eligible for bonus avios. What's your opinion?

'For a limited period only, you will receive triple the Avios you’d normally collect on every British Airways flight you take, including flights with a BA flight number between Europe and North America with our airline partners American Airlines, Finnair and Iberia.'
