Hi guys
I am looking to book a reward business class flight, using a combination of Qatar and Emirates to get me from Athens to Canberra.
I have found an itinerary that gets me into Melbourne by midnight, and then allows me book a flight into Canberra the next day. Given I have family in melbourne I can spend the night there. And as the final Canberra leg is part of the one ticket, there is no extra points cost.
My question is, as I will be clearing customs in Melbourne, can I take all my stuff out of Melbourne airport, go to parents place, come back the next day and check in, given its all on one ticket? Do I need leave my suitcases there. It just seems like a good deal - in that I can visit the parents in Melbourne, and essentially that flight to Canberra costs no extra points. Am I missing something...is there a catch?
