    BA don’t fly to MEL, and if you succeed in getting SYD with avios you will appreciate whichever seat you get 😂

    For sure its tough, managed it only once and it was for my wife not me – i never went!

    (MEL i meant with a domestic transfer on QF from Syd etc.)

    My other half and I lucked out and got MAN-SYD CW return on a companion voucher last summer. Happened to search it while I was in pre-redundancy limbo in October and did a comedy double-take when the availability came up.

    TBH, while we were pretty disappointed to get the older style, it really wasn’t bad. If anything, we both felt that it was a comfier bed than the CS we’d had LHR-HKG the summer before. The lower privacy and lack of storage were annoying, but I can’t complain about not getting a good night’s sleep.

    Or about the Bloody Mary I got served with breakfast. Delicious!

    We’re off to MEX this summer. Guess it’ll be CW again as there’s no chance they’ll get round to the 787-9s by then.

    There’s often F availability for MEX if you keep a lookout! It’s a great way to pass 12 hours 😊

    Well, you got me dreaming there! And searching, more to the point…

    Annoyingly, lots of single F seats on our possible dates, but there was one possible pair MEX-LHR (we’d have to slum it economy on the LHR-MAN leg).

    Unfortunately J out / F back (with the magic voucher) works out £800 more than J/J. Add the £70 change fee and that’s just higher than we’re willing to go given that the flight dates are a bit worse for us. Damn.

    Pity. F/F works out only slightly pricier than J/F, which we could probably justify. Assuming that the voucher price is double the single fare, as usual.

    Thanks for the heads-up though. And apologies for hijacking the thread.
