I would have thought that they would have this sorted by now but why offer flights like this. Searching for First MEL-LHR Return and here is one of the options amongst many.

Now I appreciate none of us would ever book this but seriously why oh why is even offered.

All it does is confuse the issue and also shows a fair of $6512 that simply isn't available......


And on the way over this

Given that this is supposed to be showing first class why clutter up the responses with fares that are not actually first class or with a portion of the trip at least in First Class

That exclamation mark is one of the things that drives me nuts looking for flights on QF site. (That and the other gripe I have is when searching for flexible dates to see a fare in the top row and when looking at it, it turns out to be a J* with no luggage or something similar).
I feel your frustration.
