So a weird situation today 2 Dec 17 departure

Perhaps the QF/BA call centre is not updating in real time, and there was a "hold" on those seats by a DM member, who then confirmed those seats this morning?

Well its 90k Avios, 92k QF vz 70k AM (obviously cheaper if you have the round trip discount). And yeah normally better to redeem AM for a single adult.
But if you redeem an infant, you get it at 10% of avios (or QF free), so it does work out comparing to buying an infant fare with an AM redemption ticket (esp ex HKG where only priced off full J it seems).
In the above case though was moot - AM could not redeem HKG - LHR which would have been more convenient.

I just had a search today (involves married segments on redemption seats https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cath...s-falling.html). The BA search did not remove the "marriage".
