Is this possible to be priced as one ticket, all QF metal, classic J award:
MEL-SIN
SIN-MEL
MEL-SYD
SYD-MEL
4 stops total, with 2 in MEL.
Have to go to SIN anyway, which puts it at 7488 miles (according to GCM).
This is within the 7,001 - 8,400 band.
Adding a return trip to SYD makes it 8365 miles, so still within the band.
It's the same points cost (108.4k), just a bit more for taxes.
Anyone done or tried something similar before? If so, what was the outcome?
EDIT
I found this part:
14.3.5 A Classic Flight Reward Itinerary must contain no more than one departure from the city or country of first departure on that Itinerary.
Looks like it's a no.
Although I could book two one ways (outbound 68.4k points) and change the inbound into:
SIN-MEL
MEL-SYD
SYD-MEL
MEL-SIN
For 8365 miles (108.4k points) and start again (need to visit SIN a few times).
Although it's a slightly higher overall points cost, you're still ahead if you split the MEL-SYD J return trip at 27.6k.
