Not sure what you mean by inflated price, I looked at booking MEL-LHR in December and price was identical (within $100) for QF via SIN or PER and for EK and even EY (which is usually cheaper). Glad now that I didn't book EK, EY or QR (they are continuing to fly through Iraqi airspace though not through Iran airspace). Going via HKG or SIN is pretty good alternative.
Ive done that trip before and find the QF 787 J seating horrible so do anything to avoid them.
Heading back in March and paid a little bit more for SQ this time
