Not too bad for 2 adults

Got quoted something like 25k USD for AKL-MEL-SIN Y to F for 1, but in all fairness the first option was spot on (about 1.5k USD) and the second one routed through SYD and MEL giving that ridiculous price.

This ticket is a business saver man to dxb to jnb then cpt to dxb to man. How can it cost another 9k each after already costing 2 odd k each! Crazy for a one class upgrade. Hope for an op up instead!

Only 9K each ....... ??

Seems a perfectly reasonable offer !

Do the decent thing m3red and cough up the cash. You know you want to ....

(are we sure that price is per seat and not for the whole cabin ........?)

Do you suffer the same problem as I do after a few sherbets? Wake up the following morning with a 18K receipt in your inbox... it seemed like a good idea at the time

YES!

I was going to buy F for CMB next week, but its only 4 hours and we're in J...I looked it up and then thought that's cheap...then I converted to pounds and thought maybe not! Also might be some op ups as flights are packed....

Why don't you simply purchase two new first class tickets on that flight on that date?

GBP 5,863 for two, including all taxes.

Easy and drama-free.
