Tell me, from zero to 10, how difficult is it to find award tickets to Australia and New Zealand? I would tell you 8.5, but at certain times 9 if you then add that you want to fly there with Qatar then it goes up to 9.5.
Qatar opens premium seats for Australia
In this article:
A flood of award seats has popped up in recent hours on a specific route that connects Doha with Brisbane, a flight that will be operated by Qatar Airways in partnership with Virgin Australia with the latter's Boeing 777/300s.
The calendar offers award places on so many days next summer, with the possibility of detaching a round trip ticket from Doha to the city in Australia's Gold Coast. at only 70k avios and 300 tax.
What if your next trip was because of points?

Most interestingly, there are also 4 award seats in business class on a lot of flights, a real mirage the idea of being able to detach this type of ticket.
How to find these tickets
If you search from Italy to Brisbane these flights don't come up, so you have to do two separate searches. Here is my advice. First you search for flights over Australia, and once you have booked this 14h-plus flight leg, you can proceed to look for a ticket to Doha.
My advice is not to bother getting to Qatar in economy given the short flight time and concentrate on flying business on the Cangaroo Route.
