Syd-BKK is a surface sector which would (I think) count as a second stopover in SYD. Two transits and one stopover in the same port is allowed, but I think your idea would make two stopover in SYD.

SYD-BKK is included on the fare calculation, but not as a coupon on the ticket. The ticket terminates in SYD, so i don’t think it counts as a stopover?

ok, That could be true. I have only ever started and finished at MEL for the three that I have done.

I thought that, but this website (How to fly around the world in Business Class with Qantas Points) has an example of: Denpasar-Paris(1), Paris-Helsinki(2), Helsinki-Melbourne(3), Melbourne-Hong Kong(4), Hong Kong- Tokyo(5), Tokyo-Melbourne (finish) which is a similar thing.

It is worth ringing and putting it together and seeing what the system comes up with. I got through pretty quick the other day.

I'm having all sorts of trouble getting this booked. The Qantas guy I'm speaking to in the Philippines seems to have no idea how this works. First he told me I couldn't finish in a different city to where I started. Finally got him over that. Now he's saying I can't go back to a continent I've already been to. But he can't point me to a rule on this anywhere official. Aaaarrggghh.

And don’t mention you are booking a OWA.

Just say you want to book flights, and feed them the flights.

The system automatically caps if you follow the rules. If you don’t, it will price sectors individually. Then you need to look and see where you’ve gone wrong.
