I promise my last thread for a bit, been spending a lot of time researching 2 upcoming europe trips...
Found this -
Hainan Airways J Brisbane-Brussels, a330 and 787 - Google Flights
Once you click through to Hainan site price will change to $3009 aud. Books as I class fare, departure needs to be on a Monday with return on a Tuesday, availability until 31/12/18. The 18 hour layover in Shenzen on return seems sadly unavoidable.
Also worth noting the codeshare arrangements with Virgin Australia announced here: Virgin Australia to expand its presence in Greater China under new codeshare with Hainan Airlines & expanded frequent flyer partnership with all reciprocal arrangements (in theory).
Velocity Earn (correct me if I'm wrong here please):
25,300 points (1.25 Velocity points per mile)
560 Status credits - I class fare (120 bne-szx, 160 szx-bru)
Also availabe one way BNE-BRU (26 hours) for $1856, potentially great partner for a return redemption and avoid the long shenzen layover on the way back
edit: Seats for all legs came up as 2-2-2 so seems to be the new a330 product
