Hi everyone, looking to hear experiences for TPRs for those based in Aus. I've heard that PER-BKK often has sales. Does anyone know how cheap they get and are there any other fares available? Ex-EU has some good deals I've seen, DUB-LAX or BUD-Hawaii.

I would like to see whether its cost effective to keep up with OWE via QF or BA.
 
The question is whether the PER-BKK fare comes back. It actually can be done from most major cities in Australia. We would fly it twice a year which got me to gold in BAEC. Even at full price the F fare on this route was still cheaper than a J fare on QF's Circle Asia fare so really was a no brainer. Prior to finding out about the BA fare we regularly used the circle Pacific fare.

With the disruption of Covid there hasn't been a sale for nearly 3 years. The world is still not back to normal travel patterns so I presume it will be at least a year before it comes back. I hope it does as I want to use it in October 2023.

Have you got the BAEC required 2/4 flights on BA-IB? (as the detailed rules)

What airline for PER-BKK?
 
PER-SYD is on QF. Only 2 BA segments SYD-SIN-SYD.
SIN-BKK and any other places you visit is on a OW service. We always used CX or JAL. Hopefully at some stage CX will resume on the SIN-BKK and return segments.
 
Thanks for the info. I've heard the ADL-AKL on QR was a good earner when it was in sale. Is there any truth in this? Current prices seem fairly expensive for what you're getting

AKL-ADL is just over the magical 2000 miles, so earns for example 140 TP is Business rather than 40 for 1999.

But 280TP R/t at $1800 AUD, seems like fairly poor value per TP?
 
Any news on PER-BKK? I can see the fare filed but can be priced :(
 
Didn't find it appropriate to post this in the main Why BAEC thread but some fares that those based in Oz might find decent for a holiday + TP earn.

KUL-NRT/HND-HEL-LHR-DUB r/t. There are probably multiple variations of this but DUB worked with HEL-LHR.

800 TPs~ 3.8-4K

HNL-LAX-CLT-MIA-GYE r/t (mainly in July and August). HNL to MDE/BOG/CTG are also decent. Starting from HNL will net you an extra 280 TPs.

720 TPs~ 1.8K

ICN-HKG-CGK r/t (b2b is bookable)

360 TPs 1.2K~

I have bought one for September from our resident AFF guru.
However it is definitely not the same product as before with no easy BKK - SIN flights as MH is only available on a couple of routes in combination with either PR, CI or PG. Not MH by itself. I think CX also not available.
The price with agent's fee ~ $6500 in J, $7500 for BA F segments SYD -SIN -SYD.
Doing a simple BNE-SYD-SIN-TYO-BKK-TYO-SIN-SYD-BNE.
So 1090 TP for J and 1230 for F.
If you use PER instead of BNE it would be 1290 for J and 1430 for F.
