Hello!
About to book our annual (or biennial) trip to Australia for Christmas and am finding an OK deal but nothing mind blowing - just wanted to run it past everyone to see if anyone had any opinions before I booked it. It's for 2 passengers, both BA Gold. And there's a stopover in HKG on the way in and SIN on the way out.
£2770.22/pp - 800 TP
Books into INCEU28
An almost identical fare I booked a couple of years ago priced at £1800-ish at the time, but I guess that's a) a different sale, and b) the pound's gone down.
So if anyone has any opinions I'd be interested to hear them
Thanks!

I need to head from London to Melbourne around the same time for a wedding - was planning on doing a LONE4 RTW ticket as I need to get NY after - but given that this ticket is about the same price and in business, it seems better value.
I can get the fare on itaMatrix if I just do OSL-MEL SYD-OSL, with layovers in SIN and HKG, but how do i add in multi-day stopovers in say SIN?
Obviously there are other side trips that I now wouldnt get to do, but they were almost for the sake of filling out the 16 segments, rather than trips i really wanted to do

For example, trolleymusic's trip could be searched for using:
OSL::LHR SIN
HKG
HKG::MEL
BNE
MEL::SYD HKG
SIN
SIN::LHR
OSL

Yeah usually I use the return tab until I'm happy that I can get the route that I want and then use the multi-city to shorten/lengthen the stopovers and see if they'll price properly. I know my route could be £100 less if I didn't do the return stopover in SIN but wanted to do that
Called the gold line, got a very helpful agent and after 45mins playing with the point of sale to get the CX I availability to show up, was able to book for ~£2,600

Thanks. When I used the return tab I was getting ~£6k fares. Specifying the routing worked.

If it can be useful to someone: I found ARN-SFO during Christmas holidays around 1370 eur, but I did not thoroughly investigate it.

I'm looking to book one of these as a tier point run, and wanted to do it back-to-back through BAH.... Looks like despite it being sequential flight numbers, they're on different aircraft.
Just wondered if anyone has actually done this run before, and how easy it would be with a 1hr connection in BAH, and what the transit experience is like in BAH. My gut tells me it's too close for comfort...
Any advice appreciated!

There's a transit area at BAH, so you shouldn't need to clear immigration (assuming you're HBO?). That being said, any delay may cause you to miss your flight and that won't be overly straightforward at BAH, based on my experiences of the airport.

Thanks! That's appreciated. Can't risk missing the flight back towards CGK... Stats for the flights look good, but then that just makes me think the time I try it, will be the time one of the flights goes stupidly late!!
Will have to have a think....

If your flight arrives on a bus stand the buses will of course slow things down a couple of minutes but even then it should not be a problem to get back to the departure gate on time. Just be sure to have boarding pass ready as the transfer desks are not always manned.

Thanks, just can't get the tickets to price correctly for an immediate return, so I think I'll leave it to my next time in SIN, and take an extra day... probably safer that way too. Thanks for the advice

This is likely because either the immediate return doesn't meet the MCT at BAH, or there is a stay requirement on the fare you are looking for; so for example you might have to stay over a Saturday night to get the best price.

I'm seeing ARN to Washington in business as low as £1042 next August. Is this new?
Edit: Chicago a little less, SFO about £100 more.
