PER to SIN $255 return with QF through BR

You can do 100% dumps on some QF routes using a different BR OTA, pricing the itinerary as an open jaw - then doing the same for the return or by adding a throwaway flight. I was able to ticket LAX for $947 during peak and ~$900 to LHR - much cheaper on QF sale fares.

But isn't the point of booking through BR that you don't pay YQ? What am I missing here in that dumping would help with a BR OTA?

Yes I did notice... quoting those destinations from BR has no YQ, but the basefare even in same fare bucket has a diff price... eg:

BR
Fare 1: Carrier QF NLRD1 MEL to LAX (rules)
Passenger type ADT, round trip fare, booking code N
Covers MEL-LAX (Economy)

AU$985.00

AU
Fare 1: Carrier QF NLRD MEL to LAX (rules)
Passenger type ADT, round trip fare, booking code N
Covers MEL-LAX (Economy)

AU$645.00
 
I'm seeing between $299 and $350 with the Singapore sale QF released overnight.

Have you tried with a hotel sale? Debating whether to do a domestic flight to PER or just do MEL-SIN...

I've found some decent BR fares to LHR. Is it possible to add sectors in the middle somewhere on Expedia? Final destination is AMS and the additional flights are cheap enough but I'd rather have single ticket protection

Yes you are right. Qantas has added the published $340 YQ into their base fares ex BR so technically there is no YQ.

danblar must have found a trick involving a BR OTA which either removes this $340 from the ex BR base fare or which uses the ex AU base fare and not adding the YQ.
 
Maybe I'm doing something but only seeing fares around $400 rtn with the hotel trick.

This is depart Nov 2nd, return 4th.

The sale has ended that was originally very low...Fares are on sale until 11 October 2013


 
The previous sale was replaced by a new $550 AUD return PER - SIN sale which is on until 12 Nov. The screenshot below from the Qantas website shows the travel dates. Doesn't look like there are any of the cheapies on ex br for the dates you mentioned hummel, or most of the weekends for the next few months but still some midweek availablity. Seems to be plenty of availability into next year though.
Cheers otis
