LHR-DOH is not a good candidate for op-ups because loads tend to be low. If you can get it on a BA code, and booked directly, it *is* a good candidate for avios upgrades. That sounds expensive though!

Realistically, though, the QR lounge at LHR runs the CCR very close indeed, and maybe even exceeds it. Meanwhile, the 1-2-1 layout or Q suites aren't as good as BA F, but it's much better than CW even if you factor in the chance of an upgrade.

Hi Everyone,

I am after some advice and opinion. I am looking at going to Aus for X'mas dates around 19-21 Dec outbound and inbound 31 Dec - 3 Jan. Not very flexible with dates but am flexible with departure and arrival points (I am London based and am heading to Melbourne as my final destination). I have found the below itinerary on ITA matrix for 2.5k. Do you think I will get it any cheaper? I know it's hard to say but should I sit tight and wait for the sales? Any ideas or suggestions on better fares I would like to hear from you? It is a little bit of a tier point run as I will get 420 x 2 tier points on this return flight.

Oslo (OSL) to Brisbane (BNE) - Thu, Dec 19

Qatar Airways 180 Dep: 7:45AM Arr: 4:20PM 6h 35m Airbus A350 Business (I)
Layover in DOH 9h 45m
Qatar Airways 900 Dep: 2:05AM Arr: 6:25PM 11h 20m Airbus A380 Business (I)
Layover in PER 5h 10m
Qantas 652 Dep: 11:35PM Arr: 6:05AM 4h 30m Airbus A330 Business (I)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brisbane (BNE) to Oslo (OSL) - Wed, Jan 1

Qantas 651 Dep: 10:40AM Arr: 2:00PM 5h 20m Boeing 737 Business (I)
Layover in PER 8h 50m
Qatar Airways 901 Dep: 10:50PM Arr: 5:55AM 12h 5m Airbus A380 Business (I)
Layover in DOH Thu, Jan 2 3h 5m

For those dates and destination I would suggest the deal is very good and you should snap it

Was going to say that it was just an OK deal until I saw the dates. Given the weakness of the pound, this is an even better deal than it would have seemed, but QR's fares are generally expensive over Christmas.

happy days!

Looking at anything to Perth (PER) over Xmas but prices seem to be over £3k pp starting from all the regular ex-EU starting points. Can anyone do any better than that?

Can't leave the UK any earlier than the evening of Friday 20th Dec, and must be back on Sunday 4th Jan.
