Any more than 190 TP LHR-> SYD in Y?
With the new LHR->PER->SYD route with QF, one can get 190 TP each way with a 22 hour journey. Is there any way to beat that with a reasonably similar cost (and only full fare economy)?

Are you looking at J or Full Fare Y?
There are routings you can take (LHR-DOH-PER-SYD) which would net 420TP / direction; would take longer though.

Edit: these are with QR / QF.

The OP must be looking at full-fare economy, as stated, because in that category LHR-PER is 120 TPs and PER-SYD is 70 TPs. On that basis, LHR-DOH-PER-SYD would seem to be 210 TPs each way.

Surely a LHR-SIN/HKG-SYD would net 280 each way with BA?

Yes, booking full fare econ. Via Doha I assume is with Qatar, and they don’t honour tier status for the lounge.

I'm not sure how you get to 280.

LHR-SIN is 80 TPs, HKG-SYD is 70 TPs = total 150 TPs.

There are other lounges you can use in Doha instead of the QR lounges if you have BAEC status.

Be aware that they make the Galleries lounges at LHR seem somewhat palatial, however.

Fortunately, I do not know as I always manage to get the QR lounge.

yes I found that just last week - on a vacation to Sri Lanka, direct flight was a crazy price, so tried Qatar for the first time. Yet another bit of lounge small print I missed, having got caught out with Emirates metal on my last Qantas-code/booked Sydney trip...

Thanks for suggestions.

Ideally I’d like to find a way to get it up to 250, then three return trips would get me to gold status. As it is 190 will get me there in four, with the advantage of slightly nicer Qantas lounge.

I need to make a relatively quick trip in April to Oz (for a family commitment). Grabbed a seat in the last QR sale, ex-OSL to BNE - J class throughout - and it will net 840 TP’s for the round trip. All for £1492 sterling.

Well the whole thread is a bit of a mess - the title says "in J", and then the OP says "only in full-fare economy". I'd assume that flying J via SIN or HKG would net 280TP (2 x 140) each way?

Edit to add: If the OP did indeed mean full-fare Y, then this is also a bit of an odd question, since (from a random choice of dates in June) non-flex is about £900, or full-fare Y is £2,800. If the question is how to maximise TPs for that sort of budget, then you could probably find an ex-EU in F for that sort of money...

yes, I meant Y class, sorry. Doesn’t seem to be a way to change it now.
