Two questions please.

First, I know you cannot transit your start point and appreciate the information ozflier has provided but I just want to see what others have done in creating a split itinerary?

I'm MEL based, so I could as suggested book a flight to SIN to start the first leg but just wondering why you wouldn't fly back to MEL, start and finish the second leg there?

To give a simple example - leg 1 SIN-LHR-MEL and leg 2 MEL-SFO-MEL?

Also is the mileage any more than those two actual journeys?

Second question/part, when I get to book the early flights might be 300-340 days from that point but I presume I need to book the whole itinerary. So do you just book on arbitrary dates and then change the dates when those flights become available. I guess there is a cost with that - points or cash?

Thanks
