Fly mother over to the UK in the next few days?

[Flashback]

Any thoughts on how one could fly their mother over to the UK in the next few days? I've looked through all award options (Oneworld) and not finding much. It's a fairly urgent requirement. Otherwise I suppose I'll need to drop a fair chunk of dosh on the ticket.

FYI.

When doing a multi-city search PER-DUBDXB-LHR I got for about 159k plus taxes - still haven't cracked the return leg.

FYI

Multicity search PER-DUBDXB; DUBDXB-LHR; LHR-DUBDXB; DUBDXB-PER got the following for 300k plus taxes, but last leg is Emirates and Jetstar Asia in Economy. First three legs was 240k plus taxes.

So maybe you take the first three leg and pay cash for the last leg DUBDXB-PER (giving the appropriate transfer time between two itineraries/PNR). There were also some '3rd' leg flights (business class) to Doha and Abu Dhabi, but nothing else rewards-wise for the fourth leg (only economy from Dubai).

PS Perhaps also check what you can find business class rewards-wise DXB to another Aussie city.

It's all just "too hard" as can get one way and not the other, normally open ended would be fine but there's commitments on the other end too. I've been called away for work now too, so just going to have to work things in remotely.

Thanks to those who provided some useful suggestions.
