Wont be for everyone but but a cracking deal for those who want Business class to Australia with 1 night in a 4* hotel. I booked Sydney in October.
The trick is to book a hotel with the flight , it brings the fare down by around 500 compared to a stand alone fare and hotel. You need to select "I only want hotel for part of my stay"
Flight is on Malaysia which gets reasonable reviews for business class and only 1 stop.
Cheapest fare £2000 plus without the trick
PS go through Top Cash Back for and extra 5% off !
Hope it helps someone have a trip of a lifetime :-)
NOTE- Someone has already booked the sample date I have in the link, you will need to change the dates, Under change search you must change the flight dates AND the hotel date Separately (hotel with a drop down) - there are only 2-4 cheap seats I think per flight. Good Luck hope you find something good

Cracking deal I paid more than this for economy last year flight only on an emergency visit. Hot from me although I have never travelled Malaysian. I tend to stick with Emirates or Qantas after Singapore started going downhill.

I'm not voting either way, it's all about how much importance you put on getting business class. I've seen (and recently booked) return flights to australia for £508 return with Etihad, with one short stop.
Can't fault the saving though!

Totally agree, I get some sort of attacks (nothing conscious) when I fly economy long haul and nearly pass out so this is a godsend for me. Wish I could manage economy on trips over 6 hours as there are some really great deals out there.:-)

If I was flying for all that time I'd definitely pay extra for a bed, heat.

From a brief search, it seems you must book 25 nights or less re the flights other wise this comes up - "That's a long trip! Hotels only allow a stay of 26 consecutive nights or less"
Even though your only booking 1 nights hotel.
Unless I did something wrong...??

yes I'm getting "Sorry! We’re having technical problems. Please refresh this page! Sorry! We’re having technical problems. Please refresh this page! We couldn't find properties that match your filter selections. View all properties below."
Oh well I will keep my eyes open for another £400 NZ return like the expedia.com.br (brazil) on a couple of years ago.

If you try some fresh dates for flights and hotel, think the click through rate has triggered something on expedia maybe. I had booked Sydney
