yep. late january i booked lhr-cns-lhr on the last day of the qf january sale for around 730GBP. one day later they had a new sale with further reductions which could have saved another 80GBP on that route. now i am really mad that i could not forsee these superb prices ...

booking on expedia.com.au seems to make this even cheaper. checked one sample date, and it showed 905A$ or about 450€.

RTW £599

Anyone had any luck booking he RTW fare for £599?

I have tried a number of combinations and dates on the QF UK site, but keep getting a 'Walkabout' fare that is more than double the price.
