London to Sydney
Need flights for 4-12th May, and BA F with a sector in CX J is £5,200, with sale on. I’m sure it can get cheaper than that but all other OW carriers are currently £7,200 ish in F.
Should i I go for it or hold out? |
Or £5,900 with Intercontinental Hotel. That sounds better...!
|
TG F all the way is £4.5k - how much are those Avios / TPs really worth to you?

If you can start your trip in DUB, you can fly DUB-DXB-SYD in EK F (on QF codes) for £5,287 return on those dates. You would get full TP + Avios earn on these flights due to the QF code.

Scary numbers for OAPs. J is perfectly acceptable, though! Gawd, it’s a long journey ... as bad as HNL ;)
Useful pointers, though, Thanks! |
And in First from CDG (where there is, according to reports, a fabulous new QR lounge) for €6,100/£5,300:
Outbound flight Fri 4 May https://www.gstatic.com/flights/airl...os/70px/QR.png 08:55 – 16:25 Paris (CDG) – Doha (DOH) Qatar Airways 42 · First Class · Airbus A380 Lie flat seat 6h 30m In-seat & USB power On-demand video No Wi-Fi Layover in Doha DOH 3h 50m https://www.gstatic.com/flights/airl...os/70px/QR.png 20:15 – 17:35+1 Doha (DOH) – Sydney (SYD) Qatar Airways 908 · First Class · Airbus A380 Lie flat seat Overnight flight 14h 20m Wi-Fi In-seat & USB power On-demand video Return flight Sat 12 May https://www.gstatic.com/flights/airl...os/70px/QR.png 21:00 – 05:05+1 Sydney (SYD) – Doha (DOH) Qatar Airways 909 · First Class · Airbus A380 Lie flat seat Overnight flight 15h 05m Wi-Fi In-seat & USB power On-demand video Layover in Doha DOH 2h 30m https://www.gstatic.com/flights/airl...os/70px/QR.png 07:35+1 – 13:40+1 Doha (DOH) – Paris (CDG) Qatar Airways 39 · First Class · Airbus A380 Lie flat seat 7h 05m Wi-Fi In-seat & USB power On-demand video |
You can do DUB-DXB-SIN-SYD return on EK/QF for a shedload of TPs, if that's important to you :)
Same price as the DUB-SYD per above. |
I fly out (at least once) every year to either SYD or MEL, mainly to visit family.
Have used a mix of Cathay, Malaysian, Emirates in the past, but was attracted by an ex-OSL deal with QR in their January ‘sale’ (limited as it was). It’s in J throughout, to Brisbane, and came in at 16518 NOK - or approx £1500 incl all taxes. Nets me 840 TP’s. and around 27K Avios. But most important of all, I do like QR food and service. |
Another vote for QR. Fly J and instead splurge on hotels and restaurants in SYD.
|
QR J all day long. That's a great price.

If it was my money I would stick with J on QR’s A380 (or A350 / 787). F is good but, based on my experience, not worth the extra expenditure. Oh dear - how did yet another FT BAEC thread turn into to a discussion about QR? ;) |

There were routings recently which included a stop in PER, then an onwards flight to BNE on QF, which has a fantastic A330 J product.
OSL-DOH-PER-BNE is 140+140+140 each way. |

How is it 840TP's - isn't it 140+160+160+140=600 if in J?
ETA: it is stopover, too - up to 72hrs I think? Maybe 96. |
