SAVES A ROUND $12000 ON THE RACK RATE _(QF SYD to MEL) Wide open on BA for April May and June, even cheaper if you get off at SYD

Actually it's not clear (at least on mobile version) till you click on actual flight option.
Also the bolded section states QF. Yes, BA is mentioned, but the OP is not really clear.

Not sure why we're arguing over this. However no flights show the airline using link provided (as i showed) and the OP states QF. The mention of BA is there but made me think OP was talking about buying from BA or codeshare with BA marketing. (They are after all partners)

I don't get all the anti-BA First stuff.
True, if you want a REAL First, fly SQ, EK etc. However, BA usually prices it's F keenly and is hardly never on par cost wise with SQ etc. I recently paid £1900 for a return trip from Inverness (Scotland) to Chicago via LHR in BA F. I considered it excellent value for money.
Looking at random dates in May for SIN - SYD return (11/5 OB, 25/5 IB as an example) BA F is £2985 return, SQ F is £4165 return. They both have their place in the market.
Another thing I like about BA F is there is that the majority of their aircraft have an F cabin so Avios availability is usually decent.
And just to throw my two cents in re the 'is it QF or is it BA' thing - i've only flown QF F twice so limited experience. But it was most definitely nothing to write home about either. Maybe like a teeny weeny fraction above the BA experience but again nothing like SQ/EK/AF etc
