Single flight prices
I'm looking to take economy singles ex eu to SYD with a one night stopover in dxb. Naturally it's pricing up flex with prices only a shade below returns. I have no way of planning the return. Any tips on getting the price a bit more reasonable?

Depending how cheap you can get to TUN or CAI, then buy a OW EK (or QF on Emirates metal via DUB) ticket CAI/SYD . You can see the fares and rules easily on ITX Matrix.If no stop allowed in DUB, then reserve a long connection (up to 24 hrs) thus having your night in Dubai.

Any reason you have suggested a TUN departure? I am now working in Tunisia for the next six to 12 months. A flight from here to SYD is actually working out the same price as ex UK with less miles accrued. I am wondering if my account gives me a true "local price" or not when I am searching for flights...

However, tier miles for a J ticket from TUN earns the same miles as Y Flex plus ex UK and 5,500 less than the equivalent ex UK J. Still a significant saving.

I've had a play about with it, Y prices are pretty much the same as ex UK but I have hit the jackpot with J. TUN -SYD is 2750, on the same dates its 3996 ex UK.
