Decent competition on the Lon - Mel route, with Royal Brunei dropping their second layover in Dubai, which results in quite a sharp flight time for this pricing (from 28 October only). They operate new 787’s and are widely held as a very good full-service carrier (checked baggage and meals included, however, as pointed out here before, they’re a dry airline - no alcohol).
It looks like Qantas/ Emirates have responded (both all-Emirates, and Qantas + Emirates combos are available).
Example fares and travel period guides below. Availability looks from late October to early December (book from Oct 28 for the shorter RB flights).
These fares are available via Aunt Betty (Flight Centre company) using the current 'MUMSDAY80' voucher(expires 31 May). Add this to the final payment screen.
