Hi,
My wife and I need to meet a river cruise departure from Bucharest on August 16. A flight to London, Heathrow, would enable us to fly onward to Bucharest with BA.

It seems August is high season. At the moment reduced fares are not available with most airlines. Is it likely fares for this period will be discounted ? What might be an economy discounted fare from Sydney to the UK, with an August departure and a return in October?

Our other option is to use our 280k ff points and fly Oneworld around the world. A suitable itinerary and flights seem to be available. If I go ahead and book this Oneworld trip, is the cancellation fee 5000 points x2 ? My current thinking is to book this and cancel if a good discount fare becomes available. Any thoughts on this strategy appreciated.

Thank you in advance for all assistance,

John
 
That seems like a good strategy - note that the oneworld award does not need to actually go "around the world".
