Checked a few dates within the qualifying ones for J to MEL (other destinations available too) but I'm yet to find one. It keeps coming up at Business Saver $18,000 one way.
Any suggestions on how to find these deals?

Lancastrians were still operating between Sydney and Karachi and Short Hythe flying boats on the Sydney-Singapore route, but these wartime stalwarts were being phased out. The Douglas DC4 Skymaster was introduced in 1949 on new services to Hong Kong and Japan. In 1952 Qantas began fortnightly flights to Johannesburg, South Africa

There's a video on the page, which includes snippets of a landing at Kai Tak for those, like me, who love that kind of thing.

I am considering a similar trip next year - though it's a bit early now. For regulars, do you know how frequent this sort of sale pricing is on the 787 route between HKG and Sydney please? Any recurring promo actions throughout the year? Thanks!

its mere.10 to 15pct lower than regular fare... nothing to write home about
787 roastered 4 or 5 times a week.
best value is booking PEY sale and upgrade to J. ticket cost 1.6k aud return. whereas one way, you earn 11k points whilst spend 23.5k points to J, so net 12k outlay to sit in J... this is hugr valur because PEY sale is prixed much lower than flex Y but upgrade requirement is on par, and half of it you can earn on flight...
so net you pay 1.6k aud, net 24k point roundtrip to upgradr to J.
in fact i just bot a random travel to sydney for a night on this cuz DSC is on.

Thanks for the insight! Unfortunately, not sure I can manage to get these points but I'll look into it as your plan seems very interesting indeed.
I just had a look at the regular fare it's true it's not much higher but still nicer to catch this discount to splash on some more hotel nights or perks in Australia!

Still planning on this, one more question for you guys, do we know yet if the A380 would be back this winter on the route? I tried to search but did not found anything for winter 2019-2020, perhaps it has not been announced yet? How are the odds, is it 100% sure a yearly thing or more depending the demand? Thank you!
