Also there is the issue of Medicare if no longer resident in Australia (even though citizenship is retained) I think if overseas for 5 years continuous Medicare coverage is lost. However so long as Medicare card is valid, then there is coverage.

Sounds like you have done some sums/budgeting and have some buffer.. Though is that realistic?. I'm not saying it is not, but I always caution that budgets should be realistic and not bare bones.. Also consider that at some stage OAP will kick in. I don't know how that works for expats living OS.

MstrQS2 said his SQ flight from SYD-SIN and SIN-LHR was completely full. I suspect when A380s are not operational it is difficult /impossible to find seats on other airlines

Which other AU carrier has unused pre - allocated landing slots into any UK level 3 airport? The only way is for the ME airlines to temporarily assign its slots to an AU carrier, or for the Airport coordination authority to provide some dispensation.

Yes but not to LHR with QF flight number as QF is maxed out on its LHR slots (unless BA happy to relinquish its leased slots). Could the ME airlines lease QF their slots?

When QF is planning for 1/3 of its XLR fleet to be J lie flat, there is a good chance that any booking on a lie flat XLR can be easily subbed by a non lie flat XLR at the last minute.
