Would be a fun run if it were available in reverse.

OSL-LHR-KUL/SIN-HKG-PER-SYD/BNE/MEL are all about the same price and also earns 880 SC's pricing up at about $3600 AUD.

Using the OSL-LHR-SIN-HKG-SYD-PER route adds about $200 in YQ from QF for HKG-SYD and SYD-HKG so it isn't quite as cheap.

I've just had a look at the ITA matrix and these are still pricing up, if you force the HKG - SYD to CX you can also get rid of the QF YQ.

CX is permitted, so for those wanting to avoid YQ, avoid QF/MH/BA for Asia-AU vv.

2 stopovers are permitted in each direction, max stopover time is 48 hours.

The sale has been extended until 21/04.

SR.SALES RESTRICT

  TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED ON/BEFORE 21APR 16.

  TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED ON BA  OR IB.

If you need assistance with pricing a certain route/set of dates that won't price on ITA, please feel free to PM me with your itinerary.

This is an almost never ending sale, and has been widely reported here on AFF for an extended time. I am currently in the middle of my fifth ex Norway trip (I say Norway because if your end goal is the UK, BGO and SVG allow more "secure" back to backs than OSL and are priced the same.) I have a further four booked up to February 2017. My prices varied from AUS3.8k to $5k and this was dependent upon the exchange rate. (Although in the latter case I had to take a D rather than I fare on one leg.

And cheap for F fares as well. I got a deal BA in J OSL-LHR and QF in F LHR-DXB-SYD for 5300USD return some months ago.

just a quick play with dates on google flights:

OSL-LHR-HKG-SIN-HKG-SYD-BNE.... BNE-HKG-LHR-OSL out May4/5 return 24/25May, approx AU$3500, says to call BA or CX to book

Is the plan for UK-based people to no-show for the final leg or actually complete the trip?

 

[CaptJCool]

Looked like these are bookable off the CX website. (Well I gather the 'straightforward' itineraries)

Yea I toyed with disembarking in LHR rather than flying on but ah baggage and you be easily parted.....there's only so much Hendricks gin one can wear in lieu of clothing. LMAO

QF don't provision a Norway portal off their website so F sales ex Oslo would appear to be needing to book via an agent ?
Or phone ?

Just try and book an overnight transit in LHR and then only check your baggage through to there.

There is much chatter on Flyertalk about this subject. BA has apparently made a few threatening noises about charging for no shows on the last leg of these type of fares. I don't believe there are any reported instances of this happening. I am pretty conservative and always take the last leg. (The TP's are handy anyway.) it is a bit painful but I try to do a back to back on the last leg.

I am am just beginning my next ex OSL today. This is my last ex OSL, my remaining trips are either ex SGV or BGO. (Virtually impossible to mess up a back to back.) The return leg for today's trip is booked for June.

if you are skipping the last leg you need to be traveling hlo.

CX regularly have sales ex-OSL for $3400 or the really good sales are $3100. QR sales are normally around $3200 via DOH instead of LHR.
