Thanks for this. (And thanks stirlo)
Let me explain and hopefully make it clearer.
I'm thinking of leaving around September so I know there will only be flights during the first couple of months, if that. So I figured I could book the initial flights but I would need to wait for the later ones including the return flights.
Pre-COVID I had some grand plans including split trips and the US but now I think I might be happy making it something like MEL-AMM-LHR-NRT-MEL.
Something I have to think about again.
