Thank you one and all for the rapid replies. It's good advice all round and I think that a telephone call to the Qantas ticket office is necessary. It seems impossible to book different classes for separate legs on the internet. I believe that some of the 747s have recently been kitted out with...

This question has probably been asked innumerable times but there seems to be some ambiguity as to what upgrades in A380 seating the long hail B747s have received. The question is simple enough. Johannesburg/Sydney/Johannesburg in March, private booking, personal payment. Discounting the food...
