Flying OneWorld around Europe [credit to QF]

[MEL_Traveller]

The annoying thing about flying some Euro carriers is they’ll only price one-way fares as Flex but you can fly return for about the same price! A bit like the oneway pricing (gouging) on a lot of international airlines ex Oz.

Yes, BA is quite a bit better (but still not always half a return fare - partly due taxes I’d assume).

That is very true… and that’s why I think BA ‘works’ for these types of connections.

LH/LX/KL/AF all have very high business (and even economy) class o/w fares.

Last time my parents were in Europe they needed to fly to Amsterdam… it was cheaper to buy a return Lufthansa ticket than one way. Which is what they did!

Using points can also work - get status benefits but not obviously any SCs (well, not anymore…).
