Last week it was very easy to price stopover. This week, I think availability is not good enough to find stopovers.

Booked this fare countless of times already! Easy way to hit QF status.

the SIN MEL QF sectors can be upgraded to F with just 25k QF points

They inserted a fare rule update. Basically do NOT ALLOW CX or KA from CMB-HKG, which means you can't route through HKG as UL doesn't fly to HKG anymore.

The fare is still pretty decent.

See rule:
IF THE FARE COMPONENT INCLUDES TRAVEL BETWEEN HKG AND CMB
THEN THAT TRAVEL MUST NOT BE ON ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
ANY CX FLIGHT OPERATED BY CX
ANY KA FLIGHT OPERATED BY KA.

Therefore could not find HKG routing. Can find on ITA use qf qf+ in advanced routing 296523 Sri Lankan Rupee (USD 1650). Priceline & Cheapo increases to $1709, did not try others. (maybe increase due to my date selection).

Yes the Flight Restrictions section of the I50LK fare does state the above, but under Surcharges it states:

A SURCHARGE OF AUD 1000.00 WILL BE ADDED TO THE
APPLICABLE FARE FOR TRAVEL FOR ANY SECTOR BETWEEN
SRI LANKA AND HONG KONG, SAR, CHINA.
PROVIDED TRAVEL IS ON ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
ANY QF FLIGHT OPERATED BY CX
ANY QF FLIGHT OPERATED BY KA.

But I wouldn't pay a AUD1,000 surcharge for this routing.

to SYD Fare basis:
IAARRLK8
around 15K HKD

Haven't checked AKL yet

Be careful of POS restriction and also stopover limitations. Also change fees
